So here I am sitting in office on a Saturday and wondering what to do…. I don’t mind sitting here though, everybody is so relaxed and nobody ever works, or maybe they do work, only it doesn’t seem like that. It’s actually quiet and peaceful; I guess everybody is pretending to work… like me. I have a huge list in my head about the things I want to do tomorrow, and going to the library tops that list. I just finished reading “Circle of Friends” by Maeve Binchy and I loved it. It’s a story about two girls who grow up together in a convent school and when its time to go to university in the big town of Dublin, they discover gradually that they can depend on each other and their convent school upbringing to see them through the trying times. It was beautifully written, and it struck so close to home.
I picked up another M&B book along with this Binchy book and I am going to return it tomorrow without bothering to complete it. I read the first few pages and I wanted to find that author and ask her if they actually paid her money to write crap like this. I don’t know how such books get published…. Anyway, I could do better by picking up a comic book next time; at least they don’t assault the senses.
A few funny quotes I collected over the week.....
“We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.”Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A man of great common sense and good taste - meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage.

All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.
George Bernard Shaw
Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.
George Bernard Shaw
An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.

I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence.

kavidey some women authors eally have no sense, whether its M&B o not. im redin this book caled still water by tami hoag. bout a murdr that takes place in a small town. since its written by a woman, there has to be a romantic angle. the sheriff, instead of searchin for the murderer, is busy making out with main suspect. all because of 'chemistry' i mean come on!!!! i cn write better books.
but ull be the one crying when i know the turht and you dont
kavi, where do u meet these people?
Ryan, I am actually waiting to read a book titled 'Jesus lived in India'. This guy at work was telling me about it... apparently Jesus came to Kashmir and died an old man. After I am done with that I shall check out this martian/reptillian race book by David Icke. When I am done reading books like this, I will finally be able to say, "I'm an atheist and I thank God for it."
Megh's, if only Tami Hoag could meet David Icke... they would weave a totally mindblowing story, which I am sure Pushpak will love and start raving about it.
you guys are going to get me into trouble one of these days...
