A Day in the Life of Me Part I: Satisfied Hunter
As mentioned before,being an avid fan of books i dont think there is a more persistent book hunter out there other than me.Because really,how many people out there is stupid enough to look at the same section over ten times when they cant find their desired book?
A sudden urge struck me this morning when i woke up from my dreams at 9am.I had an urge to shop for books,to top up my stash before it finally goes out.Ive figured that books are like drugs,to me anyway.Just imagine yourself for a moment,that you are a drug addict.You have a belt tied around your upper arm and needle holes all along your right arm.You wanted to stop and go to sleep,or down a cup of vodka afterwards.But you convinced yourself to have one more injection before doing anything further.You pull open your drawer,and to your horror you only had one packet of 'stuff' left.
That's kinda how i see my books.If i have one book left to read after my current reading,i would go nuts and become uncomfortable and anxious while reading my current book.It's a strange mentality,and some might call it a class of insanity.But hell,i cant help it,the way books are finished at my rate.I think i am at a point whereby i dont care what books i buy,as long as there is something waiting for me after my current reading,i am satisfied.
Anyhow,i am a satisfied hunter today.A shopping trip down in town was fulfilling,with two books bought and a Dvd at hand as well.I finally got my hands on Michael Cunningham's "The Hours",and the other book being F.Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby".I first read about F.Scott Fitzgerald in Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife,and fell in love with an abstract of his book.I dont know why i bought the book anyway,though i suspect it is the awesome picture of a woman in the front cover in one of those classy 30s hairstyle.I love antiques like that,even if they are pictures of women back in the past.
Besides that i got Al Pacino's "Dog Day Afternoon" Dvd.All right,it is thirty bloody years old,but who cares really.It is Al Pacino,and that i guess is good enough for me.Who cares if it has homosexual themes related,i am going to watch it because i am a Pacino fan,gay or straight.
