"Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason

Presently, I am reading "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen, and I like it very much. It's very amusing in parts although it tells quite a sad story -- thats my first impression anyway, after some 100 pages.
Before that, I read a book (Peter Mayle: The Vintage Caper*) where the author tried to make up for the lack of a plot, and his nonexistent writing skills by endlessly reciting menus and wine lists, and that was quite exasperating and annoying.

Content and relaxed.
If it's a good read I will become completely enveloped by the book's universe and emotionally sway with its tidings.

I feel as if I am decorating the inside of my brain. There is a lot of empty space that needs to be filled

It makes me feel as if I'm doing something that could one day change my life.
