By some divine inspiration, I've decided to continue "The Philanthropist''. With that short story i've written as its prologue.

I was tiking about how to continue stories and make them as long as those i've read in books.

Thanks to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's autobiography, who help me see the joy of writing for its own sake, and Michel Houellebecq's novel "Atomised", who's contemporary writing seems so much the way i'd wanna write, I've now had many many instances of divine inspiration to make the story above REALLY LONG.

Ironically, both books i bought from the same shelf in Bugis Book Kinokuniya and both were bought with no plan to buy or read them at all at that time.. Spontaneous spending at its best. I won't deny it was the cover of the latter book that made me buy it. But nonetheless, what's contained in them is very inspiring, well, at least to me it is.

I'll need to research on major event on the world like wars, empires, great rulers etc etc tho.
