    I had a great day at book mall!

    Here we go:

    Mihail Bulgakov - Master and Margarita
    Fyodor Dostoevsky - Poor Folks, Adolescent,The Gambler, and numerous of his short stories. The Idiot is now his only piece of work I don't posses. But I will, soon!
    Ivan Turgenev - Waters of spring
    John Steinbeck - The Grapes of Wrath
    Richard Overy - The Dictators: Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    H.P. Lovecraft ~ The Dreams in the Withchouse and other Weird stories
    The rain started to fall, cleaning out the remains of once inevitable sin. Cold massive drops shattered on the nitid parchment and all the color was being washed out leaving just dull, wet page and purple stains on her old ripped up jeans. The color shall never come out; as well as she shall never avoid the darkness spreading in front of her. And within the darkness, something furtive, silently floating in the air with hiding secrecy anticipated birth of entirely new meaning...

    I bought some books a couple of weeks ago when there was the annual book fair in Helsinki Fair Center (I really have to go there every year )

    - Lucy Maud Montgomery - Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs and Emilys Quest
    - Torey Hayden - Somebody Else's Kids and Beautiful Child
    - Neil Gaiman - Stardust
    - Finnish-Russian-Finnish Dictionary

    ...and all that only cost me 25 euros!

    The adaptation of Arnaldo Jabor's movie Love Me Forever or Never (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122480/)

    (hey, I loved the English title, it's better than the Portuguese one - something like "I know I'll love you")
