depression

[dream_labyrinth]

I don't know what it is today, but I'm in a very bad mood today. And reading Alice Sebold is not going to make me cheer up. But I needed to get away from all this library literature, just forget my exam for a while and remember that reading is fun, something to enjoy.
I only have two more books to go from my list, though, so I should be happy. There finally is an end in sight. Disregarding the fact that I also need to read at least two years of library science magazines. See, I can't think positive today.
I finally got my David Bowie CDs back. That may sound strange, but for some strange reason he always fits whatever mood I am in. So today, even The world of David Bowie is kind of depressing, while I usually find that one rather funny.
Maybe I should get with my family. Or maybe not, as they probably just sit in the living room reading books, so I might as well read up here and not have my father get on my nerves simply by existing.

Bowie Therapy always helps me out.

I read "Lucky" last year and found it to be very interesting and powerful. I liked the fact that is didn't have the usual Hollywood ending. However, when the local community theater had a production of the musical "The Man of La Manchia" I found that the chapter about her summer boyfriend, and his obsession with Don Quixote kind of ruined my enjoyment of the musical. Strange, eh?

Actually, i haven't read "Lucky" yet. I just came across "The lovely bones" - the German version, that is - in a library. I don't think her other book has made it into libraries yet, as they are very careful in what they buy, if they have any money at all.
"The lovely bones" gave me a hard time. At first, I had to take breaks reading it. I always am very emotional, and that story really touched me.
Oh, and yes, Bowie eventually helped. Today I finally got around to see Glass Spider vol. 1 (Stupid library doesn't own vol.2...), which made me angry that I missed his performance at the Hurricane festival last weekend.
