I finished "Erasure". Terrific book indeed. I started reading Jennifer Belle's "High Maintenance" today which is one of the final books of this semester. The flashy cover tells me that the book "will have you rolling on the floor". It's a quote from "Cosmopolitan" so I don't know if you wanna believe it. The book seems like an easy read since I went through the first 100 pages quickly. I haven't been down on the floor with the purpose of rolling yet but who knows if I will later. The book is enjoyable but doesn't strike me as being something you would read at the University. Compared to the other books I've read this semester this doesn't have any intellectual value and it comes off as nothing but Sunday reading. Something you read and go "well that was it". It's an uninteresting story of a young woman who has left her husband and now has to make it on her own. She gets an apartment and a job as an estate agent. She has met a new man who is already with another woman but he swears he's about to break up with her. I don't wanna be sexist or anything but this is a total chick book and I bet most girls would read it and go "oh yes, I certainly recognize that feeling". Lacking experiences with PMS, I so far fail to develop interest in this book. However, like I said it's an easy read and it's not boring or anything. So far it just hasn't made an impression on me.

I'm one of the few people alive today who doesn't believe the "Lord of the Rings" series is God's gift to cinema. I watched the first one when it came out on DVD and I liked it. I didn't love it, but I thought it was good. 1 year later, I tried watching the second one but since it picks up where "Fellowship of the Ring" ended I didn't remember anything from the first movie. Result: I was completely lost and within 30 minutes I was confused and bored. So today I decided to give it another chance. I watched "Fellowship of the Ring". Still, a good movie but not OH MY FUCKING GOD!-good. I will give "The Two Towers" another chance sometime next week.
