“I would enter the desert alone, to leave in the sand endless footprints only to be obliterated by the wind, to walk the same path each day expecting the same path tomorrow, and perhaps to cease wondering at the bloom and wither of lilies only to linger for death. But no, even in the desert, I would seek a new sanctuary, to contemplate a grain of sand in a sea of dryness...”

Leonard,Thank you for sharing the first chapter of the novel.
Hi Leonard, thanks for the add, my honor to be in yr friend list :) so apparently we have almost similar taste in books! what an excitement :)I wish you great success with your writing career, and hope reading u soon.
Steven, I definitely recommend War and Peace even though I believe the novel can be shortened. Pierre and Andrei in the novel are interesting characters.
Hi Leonard, thanks for the add. You have an interesting background. :) And hey, The Brothers Karamozov, 1984, The Stranger, and A Hundred Years of Solitude are amazing! I have not read War and Peace yet but it's on my shelf ready to be devoured.
