Thanks to Cluri I received two books in the mail today that I am sure I will enjoy. I am near the end of my Japan Diaries anyway so I’ll switch to reading on the train instead of writing. Maybe my writing will improve because of the reading, right?
So I’m putting Moby Dick on hold for the time being because I was getting slow on that one anyway (plus it is heavy in my bag which is why I don’t want to take it with me all the time) and changing to the titles Cluricaune sent me: The Crow Road (Iain Banks) and The Shadow of the Wind (Carlos Ruiz Zafon). Hurray!!!

adding a book of the complete works of Jane Austen to my list. I have some of the shorter pieces online, but I much prefer reading in print. I am half way through watching the 90’s UK version of pride and prejudice and its fantastic. I should like to read the book to compare (they are always better than the movies aren’t they?)

Yeah, finished the book. It was an easy read and had a sweet, good feeling to it. It showed how awful some men can be in relationships, and then how wonderful other men can be. I even cried towards the end. I love the way the author depicted children’s imaginary friends. It made me thing of my imaginary friend when I was a child even though I only vaguely remember her. The next book on the list is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Just picked it up a few months back because I thought it would be a good read, and then never got around to reading it.
