As usual, I couldn't resist buying something upon entering a bookshop, so here I am to present you with what I am going to read as soon as I get a little less burdened with urgent worse-than-school work.

Oscar Wilde 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (since it's been some time I wanted to actually read anything of his literature)

Upon seeing his own striking portrait Dorian Gray is bewitched and offers his soul if only the painting will age while he remains eternally youthful. Believing himself incorruptible, Dorian indulges in a life of pleasure and excess. But what has become of his portrait?

While it might seem a simple concept, it sure is intriguing enough for me to want to read it. Modern books often lack that charming simplicity (which in fact is not simple at all) due to the desire of creating something extraorginary, epic, ultimate. Which makes tieflings, aasimars and other hilariously powerful characters/things/whatever a quite common occurence, at least not suprising to anyone anymore. Where are the times when a full moon and disturbing music were enough to create an aura of terrible ambience? Oh, but I'm rambling.

Some of you might have also noticed (though it isn't mandatory) that I'd uploaded some traditional artwork. Yes, it means I managed to get myself a new scanner. More or less.

Last, but not least: Happy Easters to everyone. And I MEAN it.
