Reading adventures

"We cry when something is sad. Then we often shed a tear when something's beautiful as
well. When something is funny or ugly, we laugh. Perhaps we are sad when something is
beautiful because we know that it won't last for ever. Then we start laughing when
something is ugly because we understand it is only a joke.
Clowns are funny to look at because they are so dreadfully ugly. When they take off
their clown masks in front of the mirror, they become very handsome. That's why clowns
are so sad and unhappy each time they go into their circus caravans and slam the doors
behind them."
--Through a Glass Darkly
I remember memorizing lines from this film for art last time. Not this chunk, some other chunk.
I like it.
Emotive.
And In less than a month, I've read 3 books during my travel back and forth from school, from school, to church, from church, to filming venues etc. The amount of time I spend on the road doesn't look too bad now. At least I get to do something i really enjoy-Read.
I LOVE The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder. Everybody should just buy the book and read it. :) I wonder why i didn't read it earlier. But it's not too late
