19xliii. shantaram, gregory david roberts
this book is around 900 pages and took me since approximately May to read, mainly because of its poor portability. i will admit also that it didn't make very good bedtime reading because i'd get sucked in and then get inadequate sleep. i think the reason for so many pages is that there are so many words used to describe something or a conversation, just a lot of writing to get through. but i would qualify it as good writing about india, which doesn't happen easily.
22ii. wicked, capitol theatre sydney
a little backstory, my sister loves wicked. she went to see it with her friends a few months ago and since then hasn't stopped singing (slight exaggeration). so since i missed out on seeing the show with Team Ice Cream she has been trying to get me to go before it ends in september. anyway turns out there is a lottery before every show for $30 front row tickets! which we won yesterday, for the saturday matinee. no on in my family ever wins anything lottery-related except for my dad, and sure enough he won it for us.
so it was a great show! our fears of only seeing legs or up-costume were unfounded.
hmm so this 101 list is pretty much the only reason why i blog... except for this one:
i should just start a watermelon-themed tumblr.
