• The Man with the Twisted Lip
• The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
• The Adventure of the Speckled Band
• The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor

• The Adventure of the Final Problem
• The Adventure of the Empty House
• The Adventure of the Dancing Men
• The Adventure of the Priory School
• The Adventure of Black Peter

Aw, my little old book is falling apart. I've about 1/3 left to go, and then another book I bought in a used books shop. Most of the stories in that book are repeats from the one I owned, but some aren't, so it was definitely worth that less-than-1-dollar I paid for it. If not more.

Евгений Онегин, Пушкин;
No really. :P Saying anything about EO or any other work of classic Russian literature is like talking about Pacman, but I wants to log everything I reads.

Лирика Пушкина;
Analysing and talking about poetry is such a kick in the shins for me, really. Purest pain. Most of Pushkin's poems seem to be so light-hearted, friendly (yes, friendly), and easy to understand -- and that's the hardest thing about them.

Горе от ума, Грибоедов;
Ouch, I think I sounded really angry when we were reading this in class. These little moments of my school life always come back to haunt me in my thoughts. I hate Literature. ;.;

MOVIES.

Monster's Ball;
I'm all for fluffy romantic comedies and Jackie Chan action movies, to be honest. But my father isn't.

Monster's Ball won Oscar and has a shi-load of other awards and nominations. For me, it's all there in two single scenes.

Ratatouille;
WATCH. IT. NOW. IF YOU HAVEN'T. YET.

No srsly.

"But he's ruining the soup!!"

Bourne Ultimatum;
MMMM, muchos love for Mr Bourne.

"Enjoy your egg whites."
