Anybody who knows me well enough will also know how much I love literature. This year I really fell in love with Modern-Contemporary Poetry, but I definitely have favourites in Romantic Poetry. The world is filled with an infinite amount of novels that I don't ever have time to read.
I'm starting this blog only to post my reviews, thoughts, opinions and hopes for literature. I might cross it over with certain political or ethical debates covered by the literature. I call this "Literature Philosophy". Maybe you'll be inspired to read something that I love because I can't stop talking about it here. If you love literature like I do, then welcome! It's good to see you.
So, why 'Montblancs and Moleskines'? Montblanc fountain pens and Moleskine paper have a long tradition of being considered some of the most prestigious and sought-after tools for writing. They work splendidly, but more so is their cult status and the famous literary minds who used them. Hemingway famously used Moleskine paper to write. I have one beautiful and treasured Montblanc and hope to use it with a brand-new Moleskine soon to write my own poetry, so I'll try to transfer that same creative energy and writing tradition into my reviews.
Hopefully, I'll get started on my reviews soon, but we all know life sometimes gets in the way. I hope to make a start on in-depth reviews for novels that I would consider my absolute top. It's not a very long list, but it is quite a varied one.
