Sunday morning post- What have you done for your life lately?*

* That's a quote from the Wanted.

 

Wanted offers more than everything I want from an action movie. Two good movies in two days and I am back to life. Both Di and Hans' suggestions were super but not doable at the moment. Hence the movies for consolation. I and Özgür decided to try the movie and we had not felt any regrets. I am energized. The movie has a super soundtrack and several innovative features for an action movie. It combines several action features, car chase, shooting, fighting, high tech gadgets, secret society etc without delving into romance at all.

What else? Well I am in Otto in santralistanbul waiting for my highschool buddies. We are having a small scale reunion event. Nobody showed up yet and i suspect some are having great difficulties to find the place:) -already incoming messages, excuses for not coming. Typical turkish organization:)

 

if that's really the value. I will sell it immediately! :)

A Thousand Splendid Suns
If you read and liked The Kite Runner (Riverhead Essential Editions), you must read this one. However, if you haven't read the previous novel, you can still read it. Compared to Kite Runner there are not sharp turning points, unexpected plot twists but there you will still be surprised. Mr. Hosseini provides that. It is certainly a good fiction. I am expecting to see the author's new novels to come. But you can also read it as a sound description of a country's recent past. I remember reading in news how Soviets retreated, what kind of optimism in many circles - even in Turkey- emerged and then the shattering of all that hope. The novels gives you a good idea of that feeling...
