I know nobody keeps updating my blog. If you happen to be one of the few people who do so and you happen to be a fond and keen reader, I should recommend you a book written by Umberto Eco called How to Travel with a Salmon. It is a collection of easy to read essays. They are extremely funny and mean. Nothing challenging. You can simply flip over those you are not interested. No harm at all. But the sarcasm and cynicism makes me feel that I am reading the personal encounters of Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye.

My favourite essays include: "How to Use the Taxi Driver", "How Not to Talk about Soccer", "How to spend time" and of course the titled essay "How to Travel with a Salmon".

If you go for meanness, read it and it makes you feel good.
