...now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity", this piece of thought by Lotus Weinstock says a lot about losing hope in lots of things as the time goes by, I naively believed that this feeling would strike me like a fulminating bloody thunder around my fiftieth birthday, but nope, things don't really happen like that. I will soon be thirty and I already feel like vacating the premises taking the French leave.
So if you just like me feel bad and want desperately to feel even worse about yourself, life and everything else please go for 'Atomased' by Michel Houellebecq, this book was meant, I humbly believe, to hit us straight in the face so hard that our skull would be smashed. It makes you feel miserably human, this amazing author manages to squeeze all the divinity out of our actions and reactions and reading it felt like a sweet trip on acid when you finally understand everything.
I gave a tip for the cool and miserable ones with a keenness for reading, now a tip for those that are not less cool, far less miserable, a bit busier and that honestly believe that they can get famous, rich and be recognized for their undiscovered (maybe nonexistent) talents. So you sweet piece of honey pie try to find this week's ShortList (Issue 149/28 October 2010) and read the article 'Don't Stop Believing' by Andrew Hankinson, he will most definitely pump you up with his rather positive piece about the possibility of making our dreams come true through hard work, persistence and an unquestionable motivation that comes mainly from the fact we can not face living a life without the idea of glamour and fame that would place us in a special land, metaphorically far from all those people that surrounds us and we all feel are far less special than ourselves.
Enjoy the reading and don't forget that 'hope dies last' but eventually dies.
