What I don't like about Picoult is her shifting from writing in first person to 3rd person after every 2 chapter

The writting is more captivating than in Picture Perfect. Let's see how the story develops!

Finished HP3 and starting the most favourite so far from the series 😊

Oh no! This is not a right book for me to read before bedtime. I try not to imagine what he discribes, but my book also includes photos 😨

I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.

The English Patient won the Golden Man Booker Prize!!!
I think I'm leaving everything I'm reading right now and rereading this one again.

There are 3 options: either Murakami was influenced by Mishima, or the translaters are the same, or I fell in love with Japanese prose and everything I read seems magical to me.

So good to be stuck in traffic 😊 I don't need an excuse to read a book.

Douglas watched them go. They departed like the pale fragments of a final twilight in the history of a dying world. They went like the few remaining shreds of warm hope from his hand. They left his face and his body and the space inside his body to darkness. They left him empty as the Mason jar which now, without knowing that he did so, he took back into bed with him, when he tried to sleep . . .

"It's not you I worry about," said Douglas. "It's the way God runs the world."
Tom thought about this for a moment.
"He's all right, Doug," said Tom. "He tries."
I absolutely love the innocent way these kids think!

Finished HP2

It's so depressing! Need my Harry Potter books :(

Masterful storytelling. I don't much like distopia, but can't put it down!

'dignity' was something one possessed or did not by a fluke of nature; and if one did not self-evidently have it, to strive after it would be as futile as an ugly woman trying to make herself beautiful.

We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.

So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two.

Le temps humain ne tourne pas en cercle mais avance en ligne droite. C'est pourquoi l'homme ne peut être heureux puisque le bonheur est désir de répétition.
