I'm almost finished with Hesse's Narcissus and Goldmund. I haven't finished the Jung I was working on yet, but i have this nasty habit of hopping from book to book. No wonder I have issues remembering storylines. But when a book is suggested to me, I fear I'll forget about it forever if i don't start it right away. So I end up accumulating stacks of half read books. But it pays off...such as in this instance. Narcissus and Goldmund. I began it on the flight to San Diego, and I'm nearly finished. I wouldn't know quite how to describe the contents, except to write that 2 soul-sewn characters with different temperament and drive begin their friendship together as they strive to achieve a severe monastic existence...and from there the journey begins.
On an unrelated note. My mother has baked more than 10 types of Christmas Cookies already. That probably amounts to 40 dozen or more, so it seems i will take a stab at trumping the cookie queen tonight. I doubt I'll reach 10 kinds...but maybe 3 or 4. Tonight shall be reserved for Biscotti making. Chocolate Hazlenut Biscotti. mmmm. (hopefully complete before CSI starts...this is the only TV show i actually watch on a somewhat regular basis).
