Best American Short Stories 2005, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, False Impresion

Three books. The first was a compilation with heavy themes in terms of content and writing style, filled with true stories collected which were almost all fabulous. A good read (but I bet any year will do you good). The second book, a fictional piece from the 50s that takes place in Brooklyn of course, and was a touching story of a girl growing up and the hardships. The last was a quick read, a mystery by a ex-lord (from the UK) who spent time in prison, about the murders surrounding famous art pieces that a collector wishes to keep.

All good books. I'd most recommend the second as it was fabulous. The first was just an interesting read; and the last was a quick piece (not super high quality writing but a somewhat enthralling story).

Illusionist and The Last Kiss

The Illusionist was a fabulous movie with Edward Norton, one of my favourites. About a man who seems to have supernatural powers and does magic, and eventually tracks down his long lost love.

The Last Kiss was a movie with Zach Braff about a man who eventually decides not to leave his pregnant girlfriend for a younger girl. An alright movie with a fab soundtrack. Which I'll get soon enough.

Travels

Magnificent!

Scotland (Glasgow and Edinburgh)
Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome)
France (Paris)

Traveling was a great experience, and I'd love to go back everywhere and do everything and see everything again. As they say... 'leave things for later' which was done, but more so because we ran out of time. Ask if you want to know more.
