Oh my Bama

Victory!
This guy is now our president!

I'm not miss political myself, so this might be the first and last political post you ever see on this blog. (Although, it can hardly be called political.. we all know the us presidential elections are more of a beauty pageant type thing.)
I'm afraid many people were under the impression I supported Mc Cain and Sarah Mooseburger Palin because I mentioned now and then some good points about him. Really guys, what do you take me for?
Anywaaaay, I am slightly hungover at the mo, so don't expect anything too deep here, but something annoyed me today, and i'm afraid I will have to rant.




I like it how it says: Reading Now (1) so very mockingly... so... patronising! Like: "Oh she's reading ONE book, bless her, how dear"
Because now everyone wants to be über-intellectual and read Metamorphosis, Anna Karenina and Thus Spoke Zarathustra at the same time. Yes you damn wannabe-über-intellectuals, who make fun of me because my favourite book is 1984. "Ahahaha how very quaint! I believe I read that when I was 11 and a half... no... wait... just 11! Ahahaha".
Screw you guys! You're no better than the people who order shortened audio versions of classics, just to get the gist and be able to keep up with the conversation. That disgusts me. However, I'm also thoroughly annoyed by the people who brag about reading 4 books at a time. Probably something reminiscent from their childhood, when their mommy used to tell them how proud she was of them and praise them for reading. Well guys, I'm afraid that changes once you grow up. Reading is a hobby, a pastime, something to do in the holidays. Not a scholarly pursuit that will make you part of the intellectual elite. I for one, do NOT respect people for claiming they're reading 4 books at a time. I say, if you don't read anything except magazines you're probably not very smart or interesting to talk to, however, if you do read, it doesn't mean you're unbelievably wise and eloquent and superior to all of us.
