Reading plans

So. I've been reading Maurice, but I haven't been that interested - I know how the story ends, after all; beyond that, the characters just aren't moving me right now, and neither is the writing. I have therefore decided to leave Maurice for a while and concentrate on my other book: Brideshead Revisited (for some reason I've always thought it was a horror story. I'm not sure why). And that is a beautiful book, play-like and with such a lovely style and tone, it just sucks you in. It's so vivid, so beautifully descriptive and yet there is a decided air of restraint - repression, perhaps? - that tints the story and makes it even more moving. Very much recommended.

Apart from that, the election day was set today. I hate you too, Anders Fogh. I would possibly be angrier than I am, but for the good day I've having. Social studies was cancelled, gym was fun, though hard and geography was not spectacularly boring, which means that it was a good lesson. And tomorrow is a short day too; beyond that, Tess & I are going to see Phantom of the Opera, which has got me all excited. I cannot wait to see it which is suprising, considering I'm hardly a lover of the musical.

Well, before I go, I will leave you with this little gem:
