We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Pygmalion (Enriched Classics)Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I owe my obsession with 'being a princess' to two things:
1. My Dad's love for sophistication.
2. Shaw's 'Pygmalion'.

This play is a perfect blend of sense, sarcasm and rich humour. Not only does Shaw depict his love for English and shows what a Grammar Nazi he is, he also gives the conventional romantic ending that the reader is expecting an unexpected turn and then comes up with sufficient logical arguments to prove his point!

There are a million reasons why I liked this play but one of the most obvious one is, Eliza Doolittle, who simply cracks you up, making you roll around with laughter. Better still is Henry Higgins, a man after my own heart.


This play was my first experience with Shaw and I loved it. There's simply no one like him! Shaw, by way of Henry Higgins, comes out as the most brilliant anti-romantic playwright of romance and as the Shakespeare of the twentieth century!
