I really enjoyed reading these books again, as they took me right back to my childhood where my love for books had been kindled. Trevor’s adventures were simmering in my mind, when I started my usual weekend ironing marathon on a hot Saturday afternoon. While staring at one creased shirt after another, I had a vision of a boy my son’s age rummaging around his grandma’s house and finding an old photo which intrigues him. Then, probably to while away the boredom of my chore, I set off a chain of questions to myself to build the story behind that photograph, and by the time I finished my ironing I had a rough storyline mapped out in my head. Then I rushed to my computer and typed it all out: I didn't know it then, but Fittixni had just been conceived!(less)

Qed infittex avukat tajjeb li ma jarax kbir

Ninsab inkwetat u rrabjat ħafna għal persuna li qed tagħmel ħsara kbira lill-familja tiegħi, u lili b’mod partikolari. Nixtieq insib avukat tajjeb (imma li ma jiħux ħafna flus) li jkun jista’ jgħidli x’inhuma d-drittijiet tiegħi skont il-liġi u jekk hemmx każ li ntella’ lil din il-persuna l-qorti biex forsi tirtira dak li għamlet, jew tħallas xi multa jew danni, jew tispiċċa għomorha l-ħabs, jew m Read more of this blog post »

" What an interesting perspective! Now I have to read the book again :) "
"I’ve just finished reading The Talented Mr Ripley for the first time and I can’t help but think of the story as being essentially about what it takes to carry a narrative to full term. I remain convinced that Patricia Highsmith was essentially tra..." Read more of this blog post »

“Bl-Ingliż jgħidu l-kurżità qatlet il-qattus, imma jien ngħidlek il-kurżità żammitu ħaj meta kien jgħix. Għax x’inhi l-ħajja jekk ma tkunx kurjuż? X’inhi l-ħajja jekk m’għandekx mistoqsijiet iżanżnu ma’ widnejk u jekk il-kaċċa għat-tweġibiet ma tqanqallekx qalbek mill-qiegħ? Ibqa’ staqsi... jekk ma tridx tgħix mejjet.”
Antoinette Borg, Fittixni

“Jogħġobni l-Malti. Ħossu ħassejtu jsaħħarni mill-ewwel darba li laqgħuh widnejja, widnejn ta' katavru jitbaskat sieket mal-kosta tal-Biskra. Kelmtu likkmitni, ħakmitni u bikkmitni. Għax il-Malti jixxeblek ma' xufftejk, imellislek ilsienek u jitbewwes ma' snienek. Qed tisma' kemm hu sabiħ? Il-Malti biċċa mużika qed tistenniek tikkomponiha. Il-Malti mhux tiktbu u titkellmu, imma tkantah u tiżfnu.”
Antoinette Borg, Fittixni

“If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“For you, a thousand times over”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life

“That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.”
Osho
