Hello. Quawks. I'm here to update about Goodbye to Berlin. I think I said that I'll do that last week? Sigh, sorry. I didn't keep my word again. SIGH! Oh, stupid promises...

Anyway, YES. Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood. It's a diary about his last days... or maybe year, in Berlin, before he left it for good. It's set in the time when the Communist, the Nazis struggled for power in Germany, and the Nazis were gaining power, fast! Heh! Don't worry, it's modern fiction. (:

I loved it when Isherwood's landlady, Fraulein (Miss) Schroeder calls him Herr (Mr) Issyvoo!! So cute! Although Fr Schroeder is old and Hr Isherwood is young, they sound so close. Unlike normal cruel and pompous landladies. I loved Fraulein Schroeder! (:

I liked it when Isherwood met different people and describes his different experiences with them. Imagine how fun it'll be like if you were to be out in Berlin all by yourself and meet all kinds of exciting people!!! :P For example, I liked the Landauers. They sound so fun, so deep, pretty mysterious, probably because the Jews were persecuted by the Nazis at that time, and are more reserved when they make friends! I didn't like the character of Sally Bowles, and her pornographic talks. Isherwood helped her so much, helped her write, helped her con people, helped her get an abortion when her bf dumped her, and... she didn't really take him seriously. SIGH! I quite liked the relationship between Peter and Otto. It's pretty unusual. Peter is introverted, possessive and jealous. Otto is extroverted and free. I wonder how two people, such far cry from each other, can come together and become stuck-together friends. HAHA. My vocabulary is very limited, sorry! Then, Otto runs away with Peter's money and clothes, and Peter don't seem really upset at all!!! SO WEIRD!

SIGH. I haven't been reading for like... one week?! AH. I WANT BOOKS. >(

If I told you; that you are all I ever wanted;
Would you smile; and say "I told you so"?

I think they call it freedom of speech

Maybe we're trying
Trying too hard; Maybe we're torn apart
