i have read

"the romantic movement"


by alain de botton. now he is one of my favorite writers.
i rarely think that a certain writer is a genius. after i read the book i think alain de botton is one. the book is not like a novel that is to be read and put away. underlining sentences that strike you is just unintentional. also, it is not really a book that is to be categorized. not just a novel, not a self development book, not really a deeply philosophical one. just great.
now i'm reading "kiss & tell".
