book worm

bright saturday afternoon! still havent got much of a clue what i'm gonna do today. parents abroad, sis off to church..home alone with my maid.. hmm what do i feel most like doing now.. swimming and suntanning!! but i have a lack of common enthusiasts for companionship.. hmm i wouldnt mind staying at home and read my book.. i've become a real bookworm lately. just finished tony parson's man and wife recently.. an interesting book, thought provoking, talking about a divorced man who remarried, how he dealt with his step daughter, his son from his previous marriage.. about his insecurities, infidelity..

"Kazumi's great. But the world is full of great women. That's what romantic fools like you never admit. There are a million great women out there. Ten million. You could be in love with any one of them. Given the right curcumstances, given timing. Sooner or later you ahve to stop tormenting yourself with the thought that there's just one out there with your name on. You have to be happy with waht you've got. You have to love the one you're with. You have to say - this is my home now, this is my wife, and this is where I'm staying. Stop looking, Harry. Just stop looking, will you?"

More relevant for married men.. still.. it makes sense.. the book makes loads of sense.

2nd book i've started on but havent completed. it's called my bloody life. recommanded by my dear sister. about how this puerto ricon kid was subjected to child abuse by his step fathers, and he entering the world of gangs, drugs, alcohol and sex. not that fantastic to me, but my sis finds it saddening. i find it.. commonplace.. familiar..

okie third book, the current one i'm reading now is sushi for beginners, by marian keyes. dont you think the title is damn cute? the book has nothing to do with sushi.. i'm a little puzzled why the author named it that. oh well maybe the truth will reveal itself, i'm midway through the book. marian keyes is currently my fav author. haha. her stories revolve around modern women and their everyday lives, relationships, careers, men. they are light hearted, funny and witty. nothing too strong or asserting.

lala..sorry for those who dont read.. ahah..it's YOUR LOSS.. missing out on the good books..
