Well done Hamza - leaving the party when you did - at least you showed up and you didn't get into the sub-culture there - why on earth people think they are having fun getting blasted in public? It's their choice but how boring.
It seems you are looking into things that are more profitable - your writing skills can be used in many different work-situations - not everyone can put there ideas together on paper - and adding to your degree with options that will suit you can only help. The hard part is getting yourself noticed - putting yourself out to write resumes and making changes won't be easy but people do it all the time and I wish you the best -
Which Russian novel might you read? I had to read Crime and Punishment. What a battle - it was for my HSC and I was in mty 30s - tough yards. I saw the movie late in the year and had a profound wish that I had read the movie (sub-titles) before I saw the book. (Groan) I did write on it for the exam and passed - so I must have understood it.
One I could recomment is Stanislau Lem's Solaris. It is science fiction which might be the reason I liked it. Another is Yevgeny Zamyatin's We which I found to be brilliant. It takes all tastes to read General and Comparative Literature and I remember battling through Doctor Zhivago Where all the drama takes place on a railway station - or was that the movie - intriguing though. I will be intested in reading what you do finally decide
I've read Seneca too - as I said - it takes all kinds - I have totally forgotten what I read at the time - but whatever we read does broaden our horizons
I wish you the best - I am sure you will feel better when you get out of the drain you are working in - I hope that happens soon
