The Glass CastleIt has been a while since I read a book in one setting. A long while. The Glass Castle is definitly one of those books. To say I loved it, is almost an understatement! I was totally hooked, and I couldnt suck it in fast enough.

I love Jeannette Walls writing style. The chapters are short enough, and practically invite you for one more, just one more, and one more chapter, until you are done. And now I want to reread it, immediatly, its that good.

Her life is amazing, the book is fun, and you find yourself chuckling almost all the way through, even though its dead tragic really.

I so much loved it. Books like that, make wading through dozens of not so good books worth it, if after all of those, you will find a good one just like this one! Highly recommended reading material!

No Has An Expiration Date

I seem to be down in the rut lately. I cant decide what to knit, what to read, what to watch. Sometimes, I sit in my bed for hours, unable to decide anything. At some point, I turn off the light, and go to sleep. I do nothing but sleep since I got home from work Friday. No wait, I went to the movies yesterday, Stranger Than Fiction, brilliant movie, worth watching, even though no one else was in the theatre but us… Even there, I couldnt wait to go back to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night, memories popping out of their trance like state, and I cry buckets full of tears, until I fall asleep again, hours later. Real life is very painful. I feel like getting horribly drunk, that would be a nice change of addiction.

striped emily socks I frogged my supposed to be lace heart socks, and started striped ones instead. I am calling them Striped Emily Socks, toe up, I am about to turn heel! I think I will order wool so I can finish my Sesame jacket that I started last summer. I just cant be bothered, really… I dont even know why I keep on knitting, I never wear the things I make, nor does my brother.

I started to read The Glass Castle today, a brilliant book, I cant put it down! The insanest memoir there is. At most points, I dont know if I am supposed to laugh or weep, I highly recommend it, it is really good.

Despite saying no a billion times last week, I even wrote it on someones desk, I had expected my phone to ring already yesterday. It rang today. The post office just keeps adding to my already confused state. No only has a duration of 36 hours, who knew it could expire, you always learn something new each day.
