Ian McEwan: Na pláži

Cestujúc vlakom do Viedne som našiel na sedadle túto knihu. Nikto sa k nej počas celej cesty nehlásil a tak keď som vystupoval, vzal som si ju so sebou. O tejto knihe ani autorovi som nič nepočul, ale mala zaujímavý popis na zadnej strane.

Na poličke ležala dlho. Je veľmi útla a tlačená veľkým písmom a tak som si ju jedno popoludnie vzal a prečítal.

Je o novomanželoch, ktorí sa nachádzajú na svojej svadobnej ceste v hoteli. Kniha rozpráva o ich láske, rodine a o nich samých. Ťažisko sa postupne prenáša k otázke ich sexuality a tam vzniká aj "zápletka". Niekoľko okamihov, ktoré zmenia ich životy.

Pre mňa bola kniha smutná. Pocit skľúčenosti, odluky, chyby v komunikácii, rýchle závery - to mi veľmi nesadlo. Autor intenzívne až s vášňou vykresľuje sexuálne napätie a strach. Navodilo mi to dosť schizoidný pocit. Každá strana s odlišnými pocitmi a prístupom a k tomu žiadne premostenie.

Viac ako takmer celá kniha ma nadchol záver. Tých pár strán. Azda kvôli nim sa ju oplatí prečítať.

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning w...

... Shenandoah River

“Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River”   John Denver: Take Me Home, Country Roads Shenandoah National Park is relatively close to NYC. It was May and we already knew that we were moving to Boston at the beginning of June. We only had a couple of weeks to visit this park by car since the distance from Boston would be too ... distant. Sure, there was a lot to pack and do but the mountains simply couldn’t wait. We hit the road early in the morning on May 22nd. The visit of West Virginia was not optional. We made a stop at Harpers Ferry.  We had dinner at a restaurant along the river and of course we made a quick stop at the Appalachian Trail Visitor Center (unfortunately it was closed due to COVID). Harpers Ferry was a beautiful quintessential small town with historical landmarks. At the end of the day we built our tent in Low-Water Bridge Campground . The Shenandoah river was flowing right next to our tent but we were so tired that we did not end...

HIMYM S02E07 - Knižnica

V tejto epizóde ("Swarley") som si všimol celkom zaujímavú vec. Keď sa Lily v noci vkradne do Tedovho a Marshallovho apartmánu, aby hľadala nejakú ich spoločnú fotku s Marshallom, hľadá v knižnici kde si myslím, že sa nachádzala kniha - PHYSICS. Nie je to veľmi dobre čitateľné, ale nič okrem fyziky ma na tom názve nenapadá. A celkom je mi to sympatické, že sa tam taká kniha nachádza.
