Day 5- A Book You Love (30 Days Blog Challenge)
Shalom.
It's friggin' hot. I'm burning here. sobsss. +.+
So, what was the topic again? A book i love? i love BOOKSSS! Contrary to the popular belief, i believe a good reader / bookworm / book addict / reading nerd can't read a book in an hour. or a box of them in just a week. or like read 365 / 356 books a year. no. no it's not like that.
A good reader reads so profoundly that s/he leaves no page / word / image, heck even any symbol unturned. As for me, since i have difficulties understanding deep words and complicated sentences, i would have to reread and rereread and rerereread. i take forever reading a book. sometimes what we missed at first, matters the most. wow did i just gave birth to a philosophical idea? mehh.
Anyways, i had a hard time choosing which one to talk about. cause you know, there are a lottt of beautiful books out there. But without any shadow of a doubt, here it is (cue drumroll):
Not gonna write a review of this book cause others write it better than me. if you wanna know how the story goes, just type the title in your browser and jjang you can read all night. I'm just gonna tell you how i feel about this book and why i la-huvvv it soo much.
The premise of BTRPISDAW (be-terp-iz-dou) is classic. Love that stretches through childhood and adulthood. of choices. of how deep love could be.
i think Coelho did really well in telling the tale. It's like he could paint words that we feel but never could really say.
How did i find this book? well i'm a fan of Coelho. My first Coelho's book was The Witch of Portobello. personally, i think BTRPISDAW is the best among his masterpieces. He is someone who is really good at what he do.
And it's like we (BTRPISDAW and i) were match made in heaven. I was buried under the lowest point of my life and i read this. if you want to know what i always feel, read this book. i couldn't really write good stuff but yeah. if there's anything that could describe me, find my voice in this book. not that you care though. hahaha.
What else?
How about you? Do you read? Would you tell me yours? Cause i really have ran out of good books now. expectation kills good judgement. haha.
Please read this book. No matter who you are. Or what you like. Or if you don't like books or anything at all. Read this and you will be blown out for its honesty and courage.
Anddd, here are some of my favorite lines in the book:
maybes. to go back and forth; swung by emotions. it's sad. sometimes i was strong enough to look up and go through the days without him. sometimes it was just plain sadness. |
how big. and how small. how it was trivial and at the same time, very profound. |
first, second, third, 30th, and last, it is love. but none is love enough like Him. <3 |
tales are just another definition of realities. |
either way, we're doomed. or saved. |
then and now. |
you and me. and everything else. |
"I know that," I answered. "I've been in love before. It's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours.
"But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love."
"What a horrible way to put it," he said.”
