Well, books... From a young age I was not really the person who would love to read... Thus, my grammar as well as my spelling was just awful... Not really a person who spend most my time tiring my eye on words...
Unlike my brother who is a book lover... Though I won't label him as a book worm... You see my brother is a special person... He has the brains for book and memory... Though some will say we are alike, maybe physically... but character... we are just two separate planet... His reading and writing skills are just phenomenon!
Point that I am trying to make? Don't really know... Maybe just want to introduce my little brother a little bit...
Somehow or rather, the past year... I tried taking up reading... Heck, when did I actually started... My first book (well not technically first...but... first book read in college...), To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, that was basically because it was one of the books that I have to read in the US History class... I guess that started the fire? yea... probably...
The came august... When I was heading back to the US for the IVLP program... When you know that you are going to be on the plane for 28 hours as well as hours more in airports ALONE, you kind of have the tendency to plan ahead of how to spend that time... So, figuring that out, yada yada yada... I got the book'The Guardian' by romance author nicholas sparks...
Then pretty much got hooked to it... From there on, got 5 more of his writing... with basically Sparks writings... "Wow, I didn't know you read romance?!"... Well yea... But there is something in Sparks way of writing that make it more than a just another romance novel... Don't really know what it is, but I guess it's just something special...
Anyways, after comparing what I've read and the experience watching romance movies, I dare to say... the expression of feelings, whether it is love, friendship, sorrow, happiness are best expressed in words... When you read a book, generally drama or romance or any other type of writing that emphasize hugely on feelings, it really digest the writing, dissolving the message into our minds... comparing with movies... it just sticks in your head for a little while but later... erased...
It's like actions themes are just best expressed visually (movies)...
Got a 2 new books today... 'Message in a bottle' by Sparks and 'The Tipping Point' by Malcom Gladwell... Looking forward to finishing it...
I just can't believe that I just wrote a whole post crapping about the books I read and ending it with the books I just bought... weird...
But, life is full with unexpected & weird stuff...
(now i just can't believe i ended it with another crappy sentence...)
Chaoz...
