Don't Get Stuck In The Doldrums

Being stuck in a small town with no library and no book store, the only way I can satisfy my interests is reading through the Internet. Sure, there are tiny stores that sell outdated books but none of them particularly grab my attention. I like reading in my spare time (though there's not a lot of that) and on any particular subject that interests me at that time. The subjects could vary from academic things, crime and science fiction, to Young Adult titles.

I can't possibly list all books I like, though the last one I reread is The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I am reading it to my boyfriend who I think is finally engrossed in the story. The story is very creative, full of puns tucked neatly in wisdom every growing child should learn.


"Time is a gift, given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life"
 My interests were reignited when I caught the 1970 movie version of the book on Turner Classic Movies and I immediately got nostalgic.I loved the movie, but it left out and changed (not to a huge degree, really) some parts from the book. Immediately I picked up the book and got the epub version of it (illustrated, of course) for my phone. Rather unfortunate that I had to read most of it while working on some things at uni.

I heard there's a movie/documentary to celebrate the Fiftieth anniversary. Not entirely sure when it's going to be released but I can't wait to watch it!
