About Me
Feelings in transit
- how much extra is fair to charge for an English paper/book
- could the Spanish airport security be any less concerned with security
- I need to earn more money
- I need to learn more languages
- culture is key
- the armrests on a plane, train or automobile are not just for you mister
- phone calls in airports should not be loud
- personal smells should be kept to oneself at all times
books I brought with me
- Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (finished it only to wonder why this, not 100 Years of Solitude, seems to be the big name hit. It was long and arduous but I'm glad I slogged through, no one paints a picture with word like Garcia Marquez)
- The Secret History - Donna Tartt (finished, a must read)
- Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain (finished - brilliant, true and funny)
- A Cook's Tour- Anthony Bourdain (it made me want to go everywhere and I've been quoting it for months..."Well, in his book Anthony Bourdain said about Japan...")
- Downer's Grove - not important who it was written by it sucked. Purchased in Prague in a desperate attempt to avoid serious literature...it was a mistake
- The Calligrapher - Edward Docx
