Kulturzeit!

[gothikmaus]

I know I said I wouldn't make New Year's resolutions because I never keep them, but this is actually something I can do. I realised I have a lot of catching up to do concerning books, films, music etc, so this year's motto is: more culture! I've started off the year with a bang and on the 2nd I finally watched Fight Club. Yes, I still hadn't watched it. *hides* Then there are 3 books I started and never finished, and the local library has a lot of interesting CDs, like The Smashing Pumpkins and Kraftwerk (which I borrowed some time ago), and DVDs. And my parents have dozens of DVDs I still haven't watched at home.

I'll try to use this entry to keep track of my progress.

Reading is like breathing for me. I HAVE to do it. XD

Hee, yes I agree, but I don't read as much as I used to. I have read too many disappointing books lately. I would rather read a few good ones than lots and lots of rubbish ones (for what has been read cannot be unread...)

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

There were some really awful books last year, that's right. But I HAVE to read them till the end. Must be greatest rubbish when I put them away.

Haha, yes! I hate it when you get halfway through a book thinking "this has to get better, but I've read half of it so I will finish it and hope that it has a good ending" and then it turns out to be shit, confusing and just plain stupid. I get angry at those books and banish them to charity shops for some other poor sod to pick up :3 I wish my local library was good, it would save me some money!

I remember one book I read some years ago which really had an amazing end. Everything else was awful and it took me weeks to read the first chapters. :D
Usually I don't get a reward for being patient till the end. XD
