I am soooooo depressed that I might start wailing!

It’s not about work (I’m okay with work..work is you know..work) but I’ve just finished reading “Revolutionary Road” and God, I can go jump in front of a train now! It’s so moving that it nearly moved me to tears but it didn’t.. it’s pretty hard to make me cry. The only book that I really cried was Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude. I spend the whole summer holidays depressed..haha.

Anyway, I’m currently starting again on John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces . I started reading it a few weeks ago but got distracted by Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons (How terrible is that??) and now I am DETERMINED to start over again and finish reading it. 

I love Ignatius! He’s definitely one of a kind and somehow I can relate him to some of my -close and extended- family members..haha..

I’m actually very happy that I’ve started reading books again. I was getting extremely unhappy that all I do nowadays is work, eat and shop. Now I can add read as well. Haha.

I wonder if I should start taking piano lessons again – maybe I should look around!
