Overrated Classics



Huffington Post lists 5 classic books that are overrated. I've only read one of these, and i have to agree:
-Waiting For Godot - Samuel Beckett
-Moby Dick - Herman Melville
-The Catcher In The Rye - J.S. Salinger
-The Stranger - Albert Camus
-Ulysses - James Joyce

GoodReads!



Since school ended, i've been on a reading rampage, i've read about 15 books in 2 months.
So my curiosity was peaked last night when a good friend of mine told me about a new website called ''Goodreads''.
It's this great thing where you create a profile and you can list all the books you've read, and give them a rating from ''didn't like it'' to ''it was amazing'' and you can list what you're currently reading and what you're looking forward to reading!
It's my new obsession, i spent all last night entering every book on my bookshelf into my profile 'read' section and trying to remember books that friends have lent me that i don't own.
I love the idea of rating the books you've read, but looking at my list now i realize i've given a lot of 5 star ratings. I'm not hard to please i guess!

Vintage Magazine Cover



I've recently developped an obsession with Monica Lewinsky.
I was very young when the Clinton thing happened and i didn't know the full story, I found out lots of things in the Monica chapter of Barbara Walters' book 'Audition' and i was curiously excited, so i bought her bio ''Monica's Story'' by Andrew Morton on eBay for 2$ and i can't wait for it to arrive in the mail!
Here we have Monica on the cover of The New Yorker, as the Mona Lisa. Stunning!
