Three Bags Full: Nothing much to update. Still reading this and getting really amused as the sheep ponder (and get wrong) concepts like God and Satan.
(You can tell I’m just posting this for the sake of not missing the hour. XD)

Three Bags Full: Sheep detectives! Their shepherd has been murdered and the sheep want to find out who did it.
Who’s seen Shaun the Sheep? It’s a very cute and funny stop-motion animated series about a very smart sheep called Shaun and his herd and his shepherd and the sheep dog. I keep imagining the sheep in the book would look like the sheep in the show. XD

The Little Prince: Care was pointing out in the last post that there’s a lot of critical analysis on this one (the book’s introduction itself had some of that) but I’m just not inclined to check it out, I guess.
Alas. The whole big allegory escapes me this time.
Uh. The illustrations were cute!
Three Bags Full: Just starting this one. There are funny pictures of sheep at the bottom of the pages!

Hey ho. Still plodding along. Nothing much else to do. Besides, who’d be able to sleep in this heat anyway? Weather report says it’s 32 °C with a humidity of 66%.

The Little Prince: It’s still strange. Is it an . . . an allegory to something?
Finished the story, actually, but there’s a section “Letter to a Hostage” at the end I haven’t read, and I skipped all the introductory pages at the beginning.

I fell asleep for a bit. At first I thought I missed an hour, but apparently I was only asleep for a few minutes?

The Little Prince: Baobabs? And . . . kings?
Whimsical and strange. Am I missing something?
