Live by the Book
June 15, 2010I’ve always lived by the book. In and out.
I’ve always seen myself as someone who had bloomed late.. as I have lived my early life by the book - obeying my parents as much as possible, having no “gimik” life during my student days, a benevolent wallflower (tho people who know me by glance wouldnt say that of me nowadays), or having my life ruled by the grades I should get next on that report or class card.. till I graduated.
And well, I’ve loved reading books.. ever since my mama bought me that Nancy Drew pocketbook - about this silver persian cat with the violet paperback cover, if I remember it right. I’ve been an addict ever since. Nancy Drew to Hardy Boys to Sidney Sheldon to John Grisham to Anne Rice to Tolkien. From there, I’ve read quite a lot - tho i can only but name a few love themed books I’ve read, never was a fan of something mushy and gushy.
Now I’ve just finished my nth. The Blood of Flowers.
And with evevry book I read, I live it. I feel as tho im part of it. No matter what and where I felt it. And so now I carry the burden of Maheen’s daughter, the heroin of the book. Set in the 17th century Persian culture,the words sewn by the author was very much fitted for a modern day audience. But it was ok. I was still drawn to the simplicity of how everything was written.
And so now I feel her depression, her anguish, her desperation.. I’ve long finished the book hours ago yet i still feel its entrails inside me. I guess you can say its a good book. But with every book I read, I seem to see myself suffering the same.
Maybe I should try to do a review..
