Day 16: Favourite female character.
As terribly common as it is, my favourite female character is Elizabeth Bennet. Clever, witty, and strong willed, sheās my ultimate fictional role model.

Day 14: Book turned into movie and completely desecrated.
(Or, more accurately, book turned into tv series and main character completely desecrated. Said tv series may or may not star Benedict Cumberbatch.)

I had the privilege this evening to see the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra performing Beethovenās 9th with Simon Rattle conducting. It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The orchestra were on top form, as were the CBSO Chorus, and I will never cease to be amazed by the ease with which Rattle holds everything together. He played with tempo and dynamics throughout the piece, and not once did it feel rushed or disjointed. He knows what that orchestra are capable of and he held nothing back. It was extraordinary.
If anyone ever has the chance to see the CBSO in concert, take it. They are one of the great orchestras. And if you have the chance to see them at Symphony Hall in Birmingham, they will blow your mind. The acoustics in that hall are truly second to none.

Day 12: Book you love but hate at the same time.
More accurately, I find it tedious to constantly defend liking this book. Itās good. The writing is extraordinary. The dark humour is brilliant. Paedophilia is not good or extraordinary. Fucking obviously.

Day 11: Book you hated.
This perhaps requires more explanation than previous entries. I donāt truly hate any book; this, however, comes close. I had to translate Book 1 of the Epistulae Ex Ponto for my degree, and Ovidās constant whining quickly began to grate. The Latin itself is easy enough, but this book almost brought me to detest Ovid.

Day 8: Most overrated book.
(Note: I donāt own the book that I consider to be the most overrated. That would be āThe Fault In Our Starsā by John Green, which I thought was a travesty of sentimental tripe.)
Do any classical music fans have a favourite recording of Rachmaninovās 2nd piano concerto? Mine is, so far, Vladimir Ashkenazy with the LSO conducted by AndrĆ© Previn, but Iād love to hear everyone elseās favourites.
odi et amo.Ā quareĀ id faciam, fortasseĀ requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.
I hate and I love. Perhaps you ask why I do this. I do not know, but I feel it happen and I am tortured.

Day 7: Book that makes you laugh.
