No motivation to post about new things

Recently, I have had no drive to express myself on the net. I still don't.
I am just posting this so that you know that I intend to post again (and regularly I might add) but not now.
 
The thing I am looking forward to at the moment is the one week vacation with my girl friend in early August. Probably I will post more often after that.
 
For the time being I want to share with you what I chose for holiday reading.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos De Laclos. You probably know the story because the teen movie Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon is based on that book. I read that this film of 1999 was already the fourth adaption of the classic novel.
 
It was published in 1782 and is about morale of the aristocracy in pre-revolution France, so to speak.
Since I watched the American-high-school-version I wanted to read the original as well.
 
I highly recommend the book.

there's a movie in late 1980s called Dangerous Liasons (is that the correct spelling?) starring Michelle Pfeiffer. It's good. Catch that if u haven't.

oh, the book is amazing. so much better than either "dangerous liaisons" or "valmont" two hollywood movies that came out about the same time.

Marco, you were really quite serious about not being motivated to post.

Nothing for quite some time.

Have you considered writing about even daily matters? It doesn't always have to be about Politik. I suppose I'm curious to know what daily life is like in Berlin, as eventually I may call it home.
