Because meaningful posts are too mainstream

I hate it the most when people are taking me for a fool and starting to explain to me things I understand myself. Seriously, I hate it when people take me as a dumbfuck. I know it sounds weird, or more like obvious, but I find it hard to explain what I mean. I always find it hard to explain obvious things so they don't look obvious. If you know what I mean. But of course you don't, nobody ever knows what I mean and, sometimes, so do I.
That was the most shitty paragraph I've ever written here. God, this is going to be the most meaningless post of all. I'm using "the most" too often today. I've actually been doing my homeworks when le wild internet access appeared.
Oh, and, I just remembered, I've got some books I've always been planning to read so I'll just write them down here so I don't forget:
  • "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" by Patrick Süskind
  • "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
  • "The Thorn Birds" by Colleen McCullough
  • "Veronika Decides to Die" by Paulo Coelho (that would be my 3rd try)
  • "Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho
That's probably all I remember by now. Why have I suddenly started speaking of books so often? Anyways, I've got to do my maths homework. And then finish my test of Ukrainian. Ugh. No more time for blabbing, see ya. x

Haste actions never result in good

I think I should make some changes to my "to read" list. Well, at first, I'm cancelling reading "The Metamorphosis", or at least putting it off until later. It's actually bigger than it seems, at least it's too big to read it on the website (seriously, I find it quite hard to read smth online when there's so much stuff (e.g. twitter) around). I thought I could read it through in a single hour, but that was so wrong and reckless, cause, tell you how it looked like? I spent about half an hour reading it, and I only read a third part or even a quarter, and I was already pretty much fucked up and tired and all, and then it dawned on me that, whoa, hang on, I guess I can't handle it like this. So, yeah.
On the other side, things about "The Catcher in the Rye" suddenly got faster. THE MOST OF UNFORTUNATE things is that when I got to the store I hadn't found it in English, so I'd had to buy it in Russian, and it quite sucks. No, I'm not like "ew reading in Russian sucks", of course not. I just. When I started reading it (yeah, I actually already started reading it, that's why I said that things suddenly got faster lol), I was sooo disappointed about the lexis. No, I mean, it's all fine, but it sounds soooo American. This is just not fair. I just, I wish I could read it in English, I think it would be much more, uh, appropriate.
There. I don't even know what else to write about. Just watched Supernatural 3x15. God, yes. I'm starting to like this season. Finally. I was afraid I wouldn't like a single episode. Who would've thought? I only need some few characters from the previous series so the plot looks more expedient. All I've left now is to wait for Cas to appear. Two eposides till that. Patience.
Ok, my TVD ep is downloaded, I'm leaving now. x

The leaves of memory make a mournful rustle in the dark

This post will be devoted to books I'm going to read, so firstly I'd like to start with my small "to-read" list. I've never made these lists so don't think it consists of a shit ton of books. Nope, there are only four of them:
  • Franz Kafka "The Metamorphosis" [started]
  • Oscar Wilde "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
  • Sidney Sheldon "Master of the Game" [started]
  • Jerome Salinger "The Catcher in the Rye"
That's it. I only read what I want, I never do it to reach a particular number of books read just so I look clever. Just saying. Ok, now talking more about each of them separately:
"The Metamorphosis" is a small novel by F.Kafka which I reckon I can cope with in a simple hour. We had been asked to read it for school awhile ago, yeah it's actually from the curriculum. I never read books from the curriculum, but this particular thing has got me interested. So I finally found some time to read it. Well I'm going to read it just now actually, when this post is finished. Yeah.
The next one's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". I don't think it's necessary to describe it. This book's from our school program either but I've always wanted to read it anyways and I'm planning this about a year already. Just can't make myself start it, but I will.
"Master of the Game" by Sidney Sheldon. I've already read his book called "Are you afraid of the dark?" but I wouldn't say I loved it very much and that makes me procrastinate reading the next one, but ok I've got to admit it, this book has already been bought so I've got no choice. Becides, I heard it's one of the best and most well-known of his books.
And finally, "The Catcher in the Rye". I've been advised to read this book for billion times but I still hold haha. I'm just too lazy and, all of sudden, greed to buy it in the store. I've always prefered reading real books, being all fragrant and, and just real, but now I think of reading e-books too (small note: as soon as I've got a device for that), cause it's much more practical and would save me a lot of time.
Anyway. I was about to say a word about my favourite books and quotes from them, but I'm just too tired now. See you x
