"the bell jar"


it is intense and smooth at the same time. keeps you in the "jar" the whole time, and lets you out when it wants to. simply put: work of art!

ps: i haven't seen it, but there is a movie about sylvia plath also: Sylvia. looks interesting.

"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".

"climats"


by André Maurois. 
i bought it a while back, but found no time and effort to read it. well, i could not read it actually. now that i've read it really fast and with such enthusiasm, i can say that back then it was because of me that i couldn't read it. 
i think i had to be in love. 

i have seen

"a single man"


by tom ford. i wasn't really aware that tom ford is also a director. yet, i realized that he is a great one if his movies are just like this one. 
all the visuals; the costumes, the decor, make-up and all the music was great. the movie... it was awesome. just what i love! this is officially one of my favourite movies from now on. 
it makes you cry not only because of the action in the movie but because of the feelings it creates. at least it was the case for me. i love you tom ford!

edit: just now, i found out that this movies it tom ford's one and only. 

i want
