culture?
While in DC, I haven’t gone to one concert, I’ve been to the movies twice, and just bought my first new album today… Shame on me!
However, that one new album is by ‘the Streets (really cool homepage!). I’m a huge fan of the two first ones, and after two or three times of listening to the whole album, I don’t find it to be on quite the same level. That being said, it’s definately recommendable!
I also have had time to do some reading (somehow):
I don’t think I wrote anything on Malcolm X autobiography by Alex Haley (i did a review of it in Amnesty International youth magazine for those who read Danish). The themes are too many and the variety of issues to broad to even touch on here. I will just say that many things were added to my limited understanding of the issue of race in US (and other places), of Islam, and of Malcolm X as a historic character. Recommended to everyone!
Most recently, I’ve read another book by a new favorite: Haruki Murakami (another cool website). I really like his writing, the atmosphere and melancholy. I read ‘Norwegian Wood’. Not quite as astonishing as ‘Kafka on the shore’, but still a piece that grabbed me and left me very touched (wow, what a sensitive guy I am). I have only read two of his books, but those I can highly recommend, and from I’ve been told, that goes for all of his works.
Also, I just bough a copy of one of my favorites: ‘the Impressionist’ by Hari Kunzru. No other comments here than ‘highly recommended’!
