Revolutionaries We Become?
And I thought after the time traveller’s wife I’d ease right into another book any day.
Well given the fact that I’ve not been reading as avidly as the days of old, I suppose it’s negligible. No, it’s not negligible actually. Understandable, rather.
I have to applaud the beautiful mind of audrey neffenegger,(with a last name that almost sounds spiteful) who crafted the story with such precision and soul it formed a spectacular tapestry of love and loss and what have you that grips me every time I open up the book and indulge in it. Of course, in the company of dim-lighting, a cosy bed and sometimes food till the brink of dawn and I retreat to bed because my body demands it. You should never deny yourself sleep when it beckons unless your situation disallows it, which is really sad.
I depict Alba to be the epitome of cute,pretty & mature despite her young age.
I feel for Clare, I mourn for Henry. It’s a beautiful depressant, an oxymoron if you like.
An excellent read,though!
The kite-runner is next in line. I’ve already watched the movie so I’m not expecting a twist to slap me silly but it’s got excellent reviews too and besides, the book probably has the story in its entirety. Yup, so it’s a good read too I reckon.
Food for thought.
You and I know for a fact that it’s difficult to sustain a positive outlook on life when it slams you akin to a bullet train into a frail,sickly young boy who for some reason lost his footing and falls into the train tracks and musters all the strength left in him to get out of harm’s way and escape the clutches of death- but to no avail and is snuffed out. What keeps you going then? How do you wake up with sixty six problems eating away at you and still live, fully present in the world and loving being you, like there’s no other place in the world you’d rather be and no other life you’d rather lead?
You see the truth is, no one is capable of keeping such a tall order.
We need to take time-outs every now and then to regain consciousness of the things that are right with the world around us, and that is what spurs us to fix what’s wrong with it. Can’t change some things, no doubt- but us being the violatile creatures that we are in this violatile world- change begins with us…and if it can’t go further than us,then at least it occurred, eh? At the end of the day we’d be proud of the revolutionaries that we’ve become, refusing to conform to decadence.
Roar. Long entry. Roar.
