my Zahir....

have u ever felt so connected to a book? like that book was meant for u...and was written for u...tats how i feel while reading "the Zahir" written by Paulo Coelho. this is the first time where im actually taking such a long time to finish a book..im reading it word for word, extracting the essence of each word, understanding every sentence, connecting it to my life and reflecting bout it.

reading has always been something tat i do for leisure.i can never remember most of the stories i have read and i have never actually given the books i have a read much of a thought..i just read them for the sake of reading..

most of the books i have, was given to me by my aunty who gets it free from her school library. this book however, i bought it myself..not that expensive la. got a discount also for it.hehehe...kinda pathetic..but proud of it:) coz...I BOUGHT IT....

so becoz i bought it.i didnt allow cheryl to read it first..hehehe..sorry cheryl..i wanted to be d first to read this book..dunno y i did tat? so evil of me rite? anyway, wat d hell..i just wanted to be d first one to read it!! i have to be selfish once in a while la...and i dunt regret being the first to read it..i know cheryl would have finished d book at a speed of light..she always does tat..and i would be able to read tat 300 pages book in 2 days, but i just had to be d first to read it!!!

so anyway..enuf about being the first to read it..now bout the book...
the author of this book is a genius. he's got a gift..people...he's amazing!!!!!!!!!!! the way he strings his words, the way it flows, the way it makes u feel...like ure being drowned by his words..its like being in a trance...

i noe people may feel as if im exaggerating. probably i am..probably this book may not touch u the way it has touched me..and im sorry..coz this book has touched and triggered all sorts of thoughts and feelings..this book was written for me..selfish as it may seem...i dunt give two hoots...this book is the best thing that has ever happened to me...:) sorry charles...and yes, ure also d best thing that has happened to me..

so..people..go and read this book..i cant guarantee u if it will touch u..and cheryl, dunt yell at me if after reading this book (which im not sure when will u get it..hehehe) coz i have a strange feeling ure gonna do that...YELL AT ME!!!!

so anyway, just read it..it may touch you..it may not..but no worries..u have nothing to lose...
and no..im not going to lend this book to anyone...sorry...remember...coz..I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!

ciao....
