Been reading and reading....

So, you see that I am a lazy writer and a average reader. Been reading, drinking tea from my chinese two liter thermos, good way to loose weight if you hardly move faster than walking. Not into sport anyway, why move to fast when one can move slow?
Read the latest book of Kathy Reichs, "Cross Bones"(in english), not bad, good start for going out of the serial killer wave, every one is tired about serial killers now. Been written enough about them these last 15 years, now we are few years into, historic/religion mode, if we do not to Umberto Eco.
Found another intersting author yesterday, Matt Ruff. Never heard about his book "Fool on the Hill", but no wonder since I live in my own universe. Back to Matt Ruff, his "Set This House in Order" (french translation) is very interesting if not to say more and welcome change to the many other book's by other authors that seem to be into copy plotting each other. Matt Ruff there writes about multiple personal disorder, (it's not schizophrenia) good to read authors that are into some creative writing like Matt Ruff. Not that I am passing on a hard critic on writers in general, writing a book is hard work and research and it is difficult to write a book that can stand out and get to an editor and actually all the way into a bookshop.... Many are called, but feew are chosen, even Van Gogh only sold one or two paintings, I have sold about ten painting at the most since 1982. But that is hardly surprising since I have always been into painting other better idea on top of older paintings until the canvas becomes to heavy to move around. Well, harder to steal them then won't it? Make a great fire also, all that oil paint and newspaper and suff.
Read "The Lion's Game" by Nelson Demille (in french), not bad idea the plot in light of being written before 9/11.
Oh, yeah, read the latest Patricia Cornwell book, "Predator" (in english), she is still hard into the serialkiller plot, looking forward to read her comming up novel next may, "At Risk".
Otherwise I am reading the biography of Modigliani (in french) and another about Caravaggio (in italian). For the EVP I recording getting some sounds that sound like words, difficult to understand, needs a lot of patience from both sides I think before I get something I can post on this page as a sound file so you dear reader that stumble on my page can listen and tell me what you think.
Happy Easters, or long and happy life.
