This collection of twenty-seven short readings is intended to augment the readings in the authors' previous work, "Literary Sinhala" (1974). These selections are intended to serve as further exemplification of the grammatical material in that text. The selections here are mostly contemporary prose in several styles, ranging from fiction to philosophical works, but excluding newspapers. Brief grammatical notes are given, and forms glossed, for material not covered in the previous work. (CFM)
