It's raining again

"Oh no, my love's at and end
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend."

Ok, so I've finished the first book in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". You know what really impressed me while reading it? The amount of coffee that Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander drank! There I was, trying to process the figures on how many women in Sweden are subject to violence, eager to find out what ever happened to Harriet, who killed whom when, and off they go to make some coffee. No wonder they couldn't keep still.

"You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away.
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again."

I managed to bypass three people on the street the other day. It's true that they were carrying backpacks but still - breakthrough! I've also started bumping into the same people everyday and not just salesmen, tourists too. This means that I'm no longer asked if I want tattoos, suits or massages; it also means that the time to move on is getting closer and closer...

"C'mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C'mon you little fighter
And get back up again."

Meanwhile I've started reading Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go". I can tell you that, so far, no one drank coffee, just mineral water. I have the impression that this book is my cup of tea.

"It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at and end
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend."
