Watch and Read

It's summer. Europe is famous for her summer comas and yes, things have slowed down dramatically especially after Midsummer. Everyone, or almost everyone, is away for his holiday. A holiday vacation that lasts for one solid month or more! How I envy them.

And so, I've been taking time off to read and enjoy myself. In fact, I even bought two books (English, of course) for my personal entertainment. I finished Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. For a book 426 pages thick, it certainly took me a loooong time to read it. Two whole weeks. If I were reading it at my usual pace, I'd have completed the book in nothing less than a week. In fact, given that it's quite an interesting book, I should have completed it in 3 days or less. Oh well...

Anyway, it's a free book I picked up at the airport, along with a note asking me to pass the book along to another person when I finish with it. Certainly. I'm officially part of the Pass-it-on group. People who leave good books at train or plane terminals for others to read. All I have to do now is to find a good place to leave the book. Not in the open but neither should the book be taken as trash. Hmm...

I've watched a lot of tele these days too, in the evenings. I can't wait for Rome to start. Full frontal nudity... Sluurp... Hahaha... Seriously though, I've always been interested in the great Roman empire and the gladiators. Of course, it's not going to be a solid, factual documentary, but for an entertainment program set in that era will be just as interesting. The costumes, the scenes. And of course the frontal nudity. Hahaha... Definitely can't catch this in the Little Red Dot though. It would be pointless to censor the nudity out. If they did, the entire show will be in pieces.

Back to my novels!
