I’m fairly certain I DNF The Ruins, but I can’t remember why. Which is annoying, because at some point I’m going to have to try it again so I remember why I didn’t want to read it…
Hongian pens to try?
I have a Hongdian Black Forest EF and I love the EF nib in particular. I find the Black Forest a little too slender in my hand to be comfortable for long writing sessions, so I’m wondering what other Hongdian pens (with an EF nib) people would recommend I try?
There’s a lot to be said for a reliable, inexpensive ink that goes well with multiple pens! I must get myself a bottle.
I need to start experimenting with inks. Currently Montblanc Permanent Black goes into all of my pens, although I’m waiting on a Pelikan M800 which will come with a bottle of Pelikan 4001 Black, which I’m very much looking forward to writing with.
I have a very messy combination of printed and running writing that no one can read, including me.
I personally do my long-form writing with a Uni Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade. I don’t think I could get the same writing experience from a wood pencil.
I've been thinking about reading The Reformatory. Hope it lives up to the positive feedback I've been seeing.
