I finished the book...
Feb. 26th, 2007 08:37 pmBelly - [Feed the Tree (Remix)]--- I finished Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, today, and it was everything I had hoped for. That's rare, and very surprising, for me, in a book: to wish for something, expect something completely else (even if I'm unsure as to what that Else may be), and to get the thing for which I wished.
Save Ferris - [Come On Eileen (Dexie's Midnight runners Cover)]--- The entire last half of the book was masterfully written, and the subtextual content was wonderfully phrased.
It is a book about magic, wonder, mystery, awe, respect, and the finding of oneself, inside and outside of the destiny set for you. It is, in short, a book about nearly everything I wish to see in the world.
My favourite quote in the book: "This is the genius of my enemy! Lock a door against him and all that happens is that he learns first how to pick a lock and second how to build a better one against you!"
kidneythieves - [Amnzerø]--- Genius, precisely as it should be, but I'll not spoil it by giving you the context. Yes, you heard me. One of the lessons I took from the book... Sometimes the lack of a thing is more powerful than the thing, for the finding of it...
The Martinis - [Free]--- Still parsing a lot of the book's material, but... Hmm.
We shall see.
Other than that, saw a bunch of apartments, today, and we seem to have narrowed it down to two places. One is really pretty cheap, but a bit cramped-feeling, and the other is a bit more expensive, but more spacious. (VNV Nation - [Entropy]). As WinAmp so wryly segues, the only problem is that we'd be among the youngest 20% of the community's population. So, again, we shall see.
Hm.
