I was looking for a short book to read and I ended up with The Missing Piece Meets The Big O. I turned out to be pretty nice. It’s a story about a missing piece looking for the one it belongs with. On one level, it is a nice children’s book but on another level it’s a nice adult’s book. It is one of those classics that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Can’t wait to read Shel Silverstein’s other works. Quite a few but good thing they’re short :D
Devine Combien Je T’Aime
J’ai lu Devine Combien Je T’Aime. C’est un livre pour les enfants mais il est une grand réalisation pour moi! Il est au sujet du un grande lièvre, son fils, et combien ils s’aiment. C’est tres sympa.
Oxford Color French Dictionary Plus
After a long long time, I finally got my own French-English dictionary: The Oxford Color French Dictionary Plus. Aside from a French-English and vice versa word dictionary, it also has other helpful features like a grammar guide, letter writing guide, and even an SMS/texting guide. Nifty to say the least.
Wander Girl
As I mentioned in my High Fidelity movie review, I read Wander Girl by Tweet Sering, a passing acquaintance in college. It chronicles the journey of the lead character Hilda through her tumultuous twenties. Her changing relationship with her parents and sisters, her search for a job and a career, her search for the right guy, etc. It culminates in her finding her calling and the right guy. It’s pretty entertaining enough, even quite amusing in some parts. But I read it mainly because it was written by Tweet. So, no, I don’t think I’ll be reading any other book in the series.
By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept
Last sunday, I read By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept. After reading it, I had this feeling that words can’t quite convey how beautiful the story is. I don’t know if it was just me, or the sun, or the weather but I really found it to be beautiful story. I’m really glad I read it.
It is the story of two childhood friends’ journey of discovery: discovering themselves, discovering each other, discovering their roles in this world. There may be too much religious references for some but that is just the background of the story.
