finally as the nua-ness of holiday hits home, the sudden urge to let the world of books and fairy tales engulf my little world became so strong.
i headed down to kinokuniya with a friend to buy some books.
yeah i got a couple of neil gaiman's books (thanks to the recently released book stardust) as well as one book more relevant for my teaching.
i love his writing. it's simple, it's unique and somewhat refreshing. and as i took a look at its publication date i realise why i missed it. those were the years where i was struggling to memorise from a fixed number of books in order to get into the university.
thus...let's just say i was deprived from reading...and ironically the more i mugged to get the As, the more stupid i felt back then.
anyway..yeah plspls read his books.
it's fab. finished the book within 3-4 hours, which is not bad since i'm what you call a book flirt. i flip a few pages of one book..and get bored..and then move on to read another book... afew chapters..and then move on to another book.
but now i can understand how my ex-colleague remarked on how the fiction world can make you feel so happy......as compared to the hard facts of general knowledge we have to teach the younger generation.
yes i feel blissful
BUT FRANKLY SPEAKING...
this is the first time i watched a movie first..before getting a taste of it in the literature world...which is actually better.
because the limited visual world of movies always fail to impress the readers who are spoilt by their generous imagination.
another must read would be the original version of Lust Caution.
yeah i do read chinese books once in a blue moon to have a taste of the emotional and expressive language.
