RKS Japanese Literature: Unforgettable People (Kunikida Doppo)

YetContinue reading “RKS Japanese Literature: Unforgettable People (Kunikida Doppo)”

RKS Literature: Worsening Hunger (George Orwell)
“On the second day I thought of pawning my overcoat, but it seemed too far to walk to the pawnshop, and I spent the day in bed, reading the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
