The amusing notes and subsequent literary renditions of Dickens from his travels to the States and to Italy around the middle of the 19th century. He is (obviously) an excellent writer with a sense of humor and a vision, and the books read well. I also kinda like this oldish English with its weird and unnecessarily complex, long sentences... which is funny, because precisely for the same reason I often loathe to read the kind of academic text where you can see that the writer has almost deliberately made it more complex than it needs to be. But with old English (and with many other languages too) the time gap rather makes it amusing and entertaining than frustrating... well, depending on what you're reading of course.

Excellent reading for the shitter! Beautiful and often very decadent poems, impressions and mindscapes by the late quintessential Finnish bohemian author Melleri.

Ihan symppistÀ kasaripurkkaitaliaanoa. Harmiton, vÀhÀn munaton eikÀ ihan vÀhÀnkÀÀn ennalta-arvattava, mutta omalla tavallaan hyvinkin viehÀttÀvÀ, paikoin aika hauska, eikÀ kasvata kyrpÀÀ otsaan.

Arjen kauneudesta ja rumuudesta, ihmisen elĂ€mĂ€stĂ€ ja kuolemasta, niistĂ€ jokapĂ€ivĂ€isistĂ€ tapahtumista jotka yleensĂ€ sivutamme kaiken muun tekemisen ohessa niitĂ€ hĂ€din tuskin huomaamatta, mutta joita palaamme kuolinvuoteellamme muistelemaan kaiholla â tĂ€stĂ€ kaikesta ammentaa Nina Hedeniuksen Det speglar i mitt öga mitÀÀn tai ketÀÀn alleviivaamatta, hiljaisesti, ilman paatosta, yksinkertaisesti esittĂ€en katsojalle sen, minkĂ€ tĂ€mĂ€ on elĂ€mĂ€ssÀÀn jo tuhansia kertoja nĂ€hnyt, mutta mitĂ€ hĂ€n ei ole todella koskaan pysĂ€htynyt katsomaan.

"Menee korvan taakse! Tosin 200 sivua illassa useampana iltana putkeen on kyllÀ silti aika kova tahti, nostan hattua. Tai siis eipÀ siinÀ muuten, mutta kun on tuhansittain muitakin asioita hoidettav"

Kankea ja juminen murhamysteeri jokseenkin vaivaannuttavalla huumorilla höystettynĂ€ on kuitenkin inhimillisesti vain tunnin mittainen, joten kuriositeettikutittelu riittÀÀ pitĂ€mÀÀn mielenkiinnon yllĂ€ ja tylsyyden pohjattoman harmaan rotkon piilossa heti lĂ€heisen kukkulan laen tuolla puolen â nĂ€kymĂ€ttömissĂ€, mutta vuorenvarmasti olemassaolevana.
