The three musketeers

This has been one of the most amazingly lazy weekends ever. If I don't go out to eat tonight then I would have successfully spent the entire weekend without climbing down from the fourth floor apartment, I'm currently staying in, more than once. That one time was for some urgent banking work and I did that fairly unwillingly as well. Although I didn't quite intend to spend it doing quite so much nothing, I had some very good plans of finishing the leftover packing required here and moving out on sunday so as to save me the trouble of doing so on a weekday, I am still quite happy with having spent the weekend in turns reading, watching TV (mostly cricket) and foraging for food. I don't say sleeping because I didn't do that to any unusual degree. I have spent each of the last three weekends in Bangalore more outdoors than inside, mostly watching some not too great movies (I am actually bored of doing that and have decided not to watch anymore until some really nice one comes up), which is why this weekend was a pleasant change.

So I'm reading 'The Three Musketeers' currently. Many people aren't very impressed with your reading if it is a classic you mention since obviously thats the stuff you read as kids. Anyways the thing is I never did so much reading as a kid, atleast not as much as I would have liked too, didn't have access to a great library etc. etc. So now I often tend to read stuff which I had heard of as a kid and wanted to read, hence my fascination with classics. In any case my reading tastes aren't very particular, I read pretty much anything and everything depending on what I can lay my hands on. Hm, anyways so its back to the match and the adventurous foursome for now. Actually I would want to talk abt how delicately things are put in these old books, one particular example in this book left me very amused but thats for another time.
