Reading is a process of imagining. You visualise the characters, you transport yourself into settings. And on occasions, the process leap from pages to screen. I often watch film adaptations of novels. Sometimes in disappointment. At times in delight.
The current pairing I am processing is chinese author 蔡骏‘s 谋杀似水年华。
Unfortunately, or fortunately, that I read the book before watching the film.
It turned out to be 谋杀 indeed! Without a doubt the movie totally murdered the essence of the book. The director, producers and actors are all criminally guilty of book slaughter.
The chinese new year is almost upon us. My chicken has arrived in her festive colours to path way for the rooster !
Both of these little creations are made of simple crochet stitches. All it takes is a little imagination!
Continuing my hooking adventure into 2017 by farming "Russian" chickens. Took me a while to decode the Russian pattern. But hey, any good creation is worthy taking time to explore and execute. I am now onto my 3rd roosters. In between, I chicken out a while to try a little coin purse. Doesn't it it look like a little auspicious golden dumpling ? 😃
Starting 2017's reading with Agent Pendergast. Unfortunately, the series is getting tired - this new book is a vast disappointment.
