And so...
Everyone from family members ,real life friends and to facebook friends have been rubbing it in my face at how they have seen and loved the latest and final Harry Potter installment. I on the other hand have qualms as to when and where I get to watch this beloved movie.

Haruki Murakami- After dark
During my recent holiday I bought 2 Murakami books- sputnik sweetheart and the elephant vanishes. It is unfortunate that I have yet to immerse myself in these books, the reason being has been that I have been to preoccupied with reading my social science text and some library borrowed books. It was only last week when I came across and finished reading my very first Murakami, After Dark.  I saw...
