July 2008

“Hey, you haven’t been blogging! When are you writing again? I follow up you know?” this was like a brick that hit me hard!

I know, i’m a week behind time. Suppose to post at least an article a month and even then, time beats me! No excuses, absolutely! I know, i am not forgiven! But i’m thankful for those of you who have been really patient with me. Thank you.

Well, July had been a reading month for me, 3 books in a row! Its no joke for a non-bookworm like myself. But i will try to accomplish them during these few weeks.

Introducing ‘STRIPPED’ by Brian Freeman, ‘MRS KENNEDY’ by Barbara Leaming and ‘A WAY OF BEING FREE’ by Ben Okri. My lovely colleague one day shoved ‘STRIPPED’ to me, “Its a page turner, you should have it”. Well, i took a peek at it and WOW... i was dumb-founded at the first chapter! “I think Esther will burn this book after she’s done with it!” one said. Hahaha! To that, well, i’m not done with it yet so i cannot comment on that. Anyway, enough of some explicit descriptive, i went on to ‘Mrs Kennedy’ for a switch of environment, for a while. I was reading about her life from childhood abuse to where she was now. She’s quite a classic, a struggling beauty of her time. Like an open gossip, peeping into the life of someone so private, a 425 pages of life journal. Wonder if i ever will reach to the end? ‘A Way of Being Free’ was the saviour of my blog! I love the poetry flow of language, its somewhat ambiguous yet so intense and so full of flavour! For once in a long time, i was hooked to a book! Unbelievable! Thanks to the sender who came to my rescue. And i’m sure she’s most delighted i helped save her sagging shelves. More books to come?

Seriously, i will try to finish all 3 of them; 3 of different characters of story. For these few weeks, perhaps i should chat less and blog more?
