Week 2 Reading Overview

I have chosen Option two of the public domain variety, not  because I am interested in this  variant  more, but because I am already behind and cannot go purchase Narayan's at this time of night. Let's see if I can catch up and figure out what is going on!

I chose these videos and comics because they seemed to be the quickly and closest-related to current objective for our upcoming readings, which I am excited to catch up on. I am interested in epics and storytelling  in general, I am a writer (I didn't say I am any good!) and enjoy these sorts of things, as I hope it may help me to become a better writer also. Big ideas of interest for me here are dharma and the uplifting I had briefly been so engrossed with in conversation of another whom I find so fascinating.

How can I go on without their love and light and laughter? My heart has shattered into a thousand irreparable fractures. My grief can never end until I am with them again.
