Post Prandial…
Been catching up with the decilists of the different authors from the book mentioned in my last post. If you want me to explain the whole experience in two words– not surprised , in one word– predictable . However, the popularity of some choices baffled me.
Take for instance, Madame Bovary, which is decent book but probably slightly overrated. I understand the theme is delicate or more so in the times it was written . The craft is surely commendable but to put that in the top ten books of all time is bit ludicrous. Also, lets not forget it was written over a period of seven years?
God!! you could have unimaginable number of affairs in that time! Or if we had granted Mr Joyce so much time, he would come up with one more grand chronicle of humanity so the world could have been conveniently divided into AJ – BJ After Joyce , before Joyce.
On other things– I must admit I am a huge huge fan of T mobile marketing team. I reckon they have a few geniuses working for them. Just look at their adverts for the last three campaigns. Superlative. Remember the wonderful U fix adverts?They have this uncanny knack of digging the best music tracks to fit their adverts to perfection. The Nouvelle Vague melody I melt with you for the U-Fix.. Now they have chosen a wonderful Arthur Russell tune to go in with their latest street talk adverts.
I should buy a drink to whoever came up with that one.
Cheers
Heres bit of the forensic trivia :
If the entry wound of the bullet is on the left temple, then suicide is ruled out unless the victim is left handed.
