So this is my new hobby, isn't it pretty!!!!

The Rum Diary

It's been a while, but I have new exciting things to blog about now, so I am back...but firstly, to keep things relevant, I have just finished reading The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson, and it was AWESOME!

Quite frankly, not much happens, in terms of large scale plot events, but the day to day life of an american journalist who has ended up in Puerto Rico is fasinating! As the title would suggest, it involves lots of drinking, writing and basically a man roaming around a new town, contemplating whether or not to make a life there, stumbling upon a brief romance... The narative is beautiful, the humour is subtle, and the lead character is so normal and believable that the story seems very real (infact as I found out today, Thompson actually did a brief stint as a writer in San Juan, hence the believability of the plot).

Annnnd there is a film adaption to be released this year, featuring Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, so I am very excited to see that!
