Phantom of the Opera....

Yesterday I read "Phantom of the Opera". Though it would be more correct to say that I forced myself to read it. I don't know why, maybe it's because I already saw the performance and I knew roughly what happens, but I didn't like it too much. It was quite interesting and I couldn't help but think somewhere in the back of my mind that maybe it was somehow based on real events even though I knew it's only fiction, but this book irritated me nevertheless. I swear if I hear one more time about "pure, naive, innocent, sweet child with an angel's voice" I'll puke. Or bite. The main heroine was pathetic - completely devoid of any intelligence and your typical damsel in distress - she didn't struggle at all and just fainted and cried when something happened. And her beloved wasn't any better - it was told in the book "that he didn't lack courage", but I didn't exactly notice him displaying any of it. If you asked me, I'd rather say he seemed like to be a spineless coward. And all that gabbing about him being so miserable, because, oh, oh, he loved and wasn't loved in return and all his dillemas were infuriating.
I know that it was written at the start of the XX century, but come on. I was expecting quite a lot from this book and it disappointed me.

Before "Phantom" I read the second part of the third volume of "A song of Ice and Fire" and now I can only wish for more <33 (I hope my wish will come true when I go to Warsaw during those winter holidays ^^)


I'm still watching One Piece and I'm already at the 84 episode and I'm watching the next in a few minutes. ^^ I love this series <3 It's just so much fun. ^^
And I did read several Zoro x Sanji/Sanji x Zoro doujinshi, but it's like I thought it would be - sure, some yaoi is nice, but their original relations, even though platonic,
are just so much better and more awesome than searching by force for any romance. Generally, I love interactions between the characters in One Piece <3

And Today I'm going to start reading "Blondynka Tao" by Pawlikowska. ^^

Also today we have an annual visit by a priest from our church~ Does anyone know how it's called in English? XD
