Not my best day ever! I think I'm catching a cold so, I've decided to stay in this evening and read something nice.
And since I'm doing NaHaiWriMo, I went for haiku! I've re-read "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" by Matsuo Basho which actually helped me write two more haiku, in spite of my bad state.
This little book is a very inspiring piece on traveling and life and I've read it at least four times by now. It's short and well written, what can I say?
This week I've also finished reading two more books about and of haiku: "Basho's Journey and Selected Literary Prose" and "Basho: The Complete Haiku"
Both of these books helped me - I think, I hope - improve my haiku writing skill.
All three books are translations but I think the translators did a fine job.
Now, I'll say "Until tomorrow!" when I come back with another haiku in NaHaiWriMo.
By then i really hope to get done at least 2000 words at the project I'm working on.
Thanks for your book recommendations!
