In defense of chick-lit.

Laurie: I have loved you since the moment I clamped eyes on you. What could be more reasonable than to marry you?
Jo : We'd kill each other.
Laurie: Nonsense!
Jo : Neither of us can keep our temper-...
Laurie: I can, unless provoked.
Jo : We're both stupidly stubborn, especially you. We'd only quarrel!
Laurie: I wouldn't!
Jo : You can't even propose without quarreling.

I always knew that Jo should have refused Laurie. Even though he's perfect. The thing is that she is not. I was just surprised that she had the foresight to realize it.

Friedrich Bhaer...sigh...where are you?

Prints

Books books books. New ones, old ones, really cheap ones, not-so-cheap ones, bought-with-my-own-dough ones, mommy-gifted ones, scrounging-in-the-footpath ones, discovered-amidst-trash ones, wanted-to-buy-forever ones, pretentious-(perhaps)-but-i-dont-care ones, hoping-it-will-be-good ones.
These are it.

Brand new ones-

• No Exit and Three Other Plays: Jean-Paul Sartre
• The Sound and the Fury: Faulkner

Discovered amidst trash-

• Four Plays: Tennessee Williams
• Men Without Women- Hemmingway

Scrounged from the footpath, but brand new with amazing bargains-

• Tintin and The Calculus Affair
• Tintin and The Castafiore Emerald

Books still waiting to be finished- (Sigh!)

• Snow: Orhan Pamuk
• Tough Guys Don't Dance: Norman Mailer
• Jude the Obscure: Hardy
• Women in Love- D.H. Lawrence

Books I suddenly want to read again, this instant-

• The Colour Purple: Alice Walker
• Beloved: Toni Morrison
• Feluda: Ray
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Roald Dahl
• Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: Joyce

Books I saw and wanted to buy and couldnt because of the guilt and no money-

• Endless, exhaustive and extensive.

Dear God, in my next life, make me a book. Its so much easier (and faster) to read people.
