Last night I watched Barfus (Barefoot) a film by Till Schweiger. I shouldn't watch such romantic, crazy European movies in this weird emotional state that I am in. I cried for the last 30 mins of the film. Every time I watch someone kiss, hug or when they show feelings so obvious that they touch your heart I think about my special one so far away from me. I want to be with him so badly... it is so painful to be far away..Stupid hollywood movies almost never have such effect on me. European films portray feelings so real usually accompanied with beautiful songs...I thought about sending an sms to him but smses would not show the agony that I felt at that time. Anyway he was already tired when we spoke earlier in the evening. only 9 working days passed, maybe next week?? pretty please!
I am reading Orhan Pamuk's Museum of Innocence. I read it in English because the english book was cheaper than turkish :) I'm amazed at his detailed descriptions of emotions, places..I guess that is why he's the Nobel laureate and I'm just a blogger wannabe :) A pity that I didn't get any writing genes from my grandfather... I should definitely read more books!!! I can't wait to go to Istanbul to my favorite Robinson Crusoe bookshop. When I didn't have enough money to buy books I would go there and just look at the shelves and plan what to buy next. The shop was always full of foreigners, intellectual, European looking Turks and the salesman there were different from other shops. They could easily recommend you another book or say their point of view on the book you were looking for.
By the way I'm wondering is Pamuk really going to establish the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul. While reading the book I imagine walking those same neighborhoods of Istanbul he describes. Istanbul is just magnificent and can't wait to go back for a visit.

Do you enjoy Museum of Innocence? I enjoyed first 100 pages then I was too bored, so I skipped to the end and read what happens, which dissapointed me even further...
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for the comment. I also think towards the middle the book kinda got boring because of Kemal's obsession over Füsun. Actually I am also tempted to skip the middle parts and read what happens in the end. :)
