"Devil May Care" by Sebastian Faulks writing as Ian Fleming 4 days ago

I’ve finished reading “Devil May Care”, a James Bond novel. I spent weeks reading it because I couldn’t find the time, and I was extremely relieved when I finished it a few minutes ago.

My brother bought this book a few days after it was released, and then I took it to read. After having watched every single James Bond movie (except the unofficial one), I like 007.

“Devil May Care” is a standard James Bond novel with weapons and women and a crazy villian. I felt that it was like any other novel (“Casino Royale”, maybe?), but the plot was slightly more interesting.

It’s a not a fantastic book, though I do recommend it to 007 fans who want to check out 007’s adventures after numerous near-death experiences. It’s a continuation of the late Ian Fleming’s series, and being able to relate to past events was something I was glad about.


speak slower
I speak too fast 3 weeks ago

I try to speak too fast and end up with a twisted tongue and no one understands anything. I’ve discovered that many great actors speak slowly, and they are audible and can be understood.

I’m working towards this to change myself for the better; it’s never too late.


improve my handwriting
I have terrible handwriting 3 weeks ago

My handwriting sucks. I’ve been commented by many teachers in school that my words are illegible and hard to read.

The problem is that the words are small, so my main habit now is to write bigger. Sounds easy, but takes a lot of effort.
