The Sunday Salon

This week I have mostly read school books. My school is now again on full speed which is pretty nice actually. My favorite classes are English, Finnish, History and Theatre Arts. In English we are going through this media section. We are looking for advertisements and that kind of stuff which is really interesting. When we are going to talk about violence in media we are going to read 'Fight Club'. I am really excited about reading it, it is a type of book I normally don't read but I must say that I am really interested about it. I bought the 'Fight Club' movie yesterday and I will probably watch it on Tuesday when I have to hang around at the airport.
In my Finnish class we are going through poetry. At Friday my friend and myself anylyzed this poem called 'Sick Rose' by William Blake. The poem was really interesting and analyzing it was a lot of fun. For the next week we have to read this novella collection by Kari Hotakainen, who is quite famous Finnish author. I normally don't read Finnish literature, but in my Finnish class I have to do it.
Theatre Arts has been really fun. We have done some excercises with the whole group. We also have theory, like the history of the theatre, and we are reading some plays. The first play we are going to read is this play from Ancient Greece.

This week I started to read 'The Reader' by Bernhard Schlink. I have not seen the movie so I did not really know what to expect from the book. The text is beautifully written (the Finnish translation is very good) and the structure of the book is good. So far I have enjoyed it so much more than I expected. I will take it and the new Princess Diaries book with me to London. Of course I will buy new books from London but I want to have something to read at the airport and at the plane. :)
