"He asks, are you happy," says the interpreter. I can imagine their curiosity: Are they happy? How can they be happy? (...)
There is a silence but sometimes it's as dangerous not to speak.
"Yes, we are very happy"

Can't put it down... this book is sooooo cool! 😱

I can't put it down. Seriously. I should study. Well, surely reading another chapter won't hurt.........

"A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President of the United States - and wins."

Mmm, sounds strangely familiar... and it was written in 1935, people! It definitely CAN happen here...

"We all live in a house on fire. No fire department to call, no way out. Just the upstairs window to look out of, while the fire burns the house down, with us trapped, locked in." Tennessee Williams

Watching Carol for the umpteenth time and, my gosh, it still warms my heart... and no, Cate Blanchett, I'm still not over you, hahaha

Wonderful... a really delightful novel! Highly enjoyable (:

"We're all allowed to be sad that the present isn't what we thought it was. But we mustn't be defeated. We will keep educating ourselves and working twice as hard as the man next to us because we know now that it is not fair. It is not fair in the workplace, so you make it impossible to fail."

(Jennifer Lawrence)

A part of me hates Rachel, a part of me pities her, a part of me is constantly thinking "why the f... have you started drinking again when you should be out there finding clues??"; while all of me can't imagine Rachel with the nice face of Emily Blunt, so I don't think I'll go and watch the film...

http://www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/what-... I'd like to urge everyone to watch this video and to sign the petition, so that our governments can hear our voice and really do something to improve this terrible situation. It takes just a click but it's really, really important not just for refugees but for us all...

My God, I'm really loving it! Wonderfully wicked and naughty, just as I like it

"You were to me something apart from common life. A thing noble, pure. The world seemed to me finer because you were in it... Goodness, more real because you lived." (An ideal husband-Oscar Wilde)

"I think we live in a world where there is still not equal pay for equal work,and I just don't understand in 2014 why that's not the case.And I'm not necessarily talking about the industry in which we work,it's every industry.And I think that, you know,the things that had been said about women,not only in African countries, but in the English speaking world...is absolutely appalling" Cate Blanchett

I saw the film and I liked it so much... But the book promises to be even better! Love Faulks writing...

Finally in London again... I love this city so so much! I feel like I'm breathing again here

"He took me in his arms. He sighed, and kissed me with an angelic tenderness. He said-oh, so softly and so sadly!- 'I have no life now, apart from you.' As those words passed his lips, the thought seemed to rise in my mind like an echo, 'Why not live out all the days that are left to me, happy and harmless in a love like this!'

I am literally in love with the character of Lydia Gwilt... I know she's wicked and in the end she obviously can't win (it's a victorian novel after all..) but I'm still rooting for her! And Collins is such a master in creating well-rounded characters. Uuh I'm really loving this novel!
