fragments...

it's hard to believe that a few days before the exam, i finish reading an e-book - Anne of the Island, a sequel to Anne of Green Gables. Though it may be classical, i love it for it's richness of emotions and feelings that are cleverly conveyed in the form of words.

i remembered those who had scorned at my reading taste but i really do not care. I 'm not the typical chic flick type, so lovey dovey stories are a no - no (except a remix like Twilight saga which contains some fantasy elements and has somehow caught my attention). My choice of books are actually contradicting. fantasy vs realistic fiction which narrates life itself.

Anne of the Island talks about Anne's life as a young adult..how she goes through that stage of life with uncertainties about friendship, love, studies and passion. she has grown by the time the last page is flipped through. i really love the way the author expresses the reality is. life is full of uncertainties, a moment of joy with ended in a series of misfortunes, every corner is unknown until it is time to experience it, that is what which keep humans going in life.

I've also read the new edition of reader's digest yesterday. It turn out to be quite a disappointment, sort of a slight disappointment. somehow it feels different as the content are not as rich as it was during my parents' era. i love to dig for old reader digest in my house. dad still keeps many of the old editions he had ordered when he was still in college. the stories and articles are really attractive. perhaps it's something to do with the standard of language used.

there are still many e-books that i have never read, gonna use this period of free time to browse through all to my heart's content...no calls for final results please, i wanna enjoy my holidays...
