BOOK!!
finally i am blogging about book
in the very very first place
i thought this blog is gonna be
quite related to book and reading
but…erm…
obviously some other topics are prioritized
*
ok finally i finish reading this
after two months
i know it is a little long
you should congratulate me already
who will read a 19th century book
on school vacation
especially on summer
*
i got this book on 29.06.2009
at Banglore Airport
because i really don’t know
what to do with the meagre Rupees
i was left with
got three books
*
since May i was reading it at Igloo
the progress was really miserable
since after i returned to work
i forgot where i stopped
and had to re-read those paragraph
which i had already gone through
*
and during those weekdays afternoons
that the customer flow were almost zero
i was dozing off
using the book as cover-up
*
twice my colleagues asked
how come the book costs so much
and another one predicted that i couldn’t finish the book
till the day i stop working there
ultimately she is quite right
since i quitted the job earlier
*
June, since i landed on the clerical job
after facing figures, bills, excel sheets for
the whole afternoon
i was too tired to read the book
so it was abandoned
*
till i met Yi Hing on T.sina
he revealed his reading list for the month
and we started to talk about this book
and i was all serious to finish it by July
so i succeeded
there’s will there’s way
especially there is such a huge motivation
*
content
short stories
the great thing about it that
you don’t have to clung on the storyline
for months
getting sick of the characters
trying hard to recall
what was the last thing that happened
*
the stories written by Twain
made up of various genres
adventure, sci-fi, travelling, and even mystery
*
there are quite a few imaginative one like
Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven
how on earth(heaven) could he imagine
the way heaven is in great details
and The Mysterious Stranger
an angel named Satan
who twisted the fates of people
but he does not know right from wrong
so the consequences turned out to be
worse than the predestined one
*
we always find animals’ conversation
as a cute scene in movies
animals’ monologues and dialogues
appeared in his stories too
namely
The Horse’s Tale,
A Dog’s Tale
both will leave animal-lovers with
tearful eyes
*
there are some sarcastic pieces too
like those about The McWilliamses
anecdotes about a sensible husband
and his nervy wife
the humorous incidents over and over again
drove him nuts
*
there is a thoughtful piece about
moral and love
a dying mom vs a miserable sweet girl…
in between there are
two strict great aunts who never
tell lies in their life before
in Was It Heaven? Or Hell?
*
ok after Mark Twain
next up i have The Bleak House
in the house
but don’t think i will be
so keen on reading it
