Good afternoon good readers, I have yet again missed a post day- but alas I cannot deliver several things in one post to you today like I really did before. So for today I shall fill you in on what I have begun to read for now and give you some summary to it!
To those of you who had been following me for Through Glass, I am glad to inform you I ginished the book and am now in immense pain as I await a sequel- whydo books have to be like that? Alexis found others- and some things about herself from the others as well. Not everything is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. That's all I can say about it in the end, and now I must once again wait- January 2014 get here fast!
I have begun to read a book (suggested and borrowed from by my dear friend Trang- go go read her blog, it's highly interesting and amusing!) called Number 9 Dream and it's by David Mitchell. God this book is confuising if you don't catch on quickly to what's going on. Our main character, Eiji Miyake, is one of the most interesting daydreamers I have ever had the pleasure (and at the same time displeasure- dangit Eiji.) to venture onto within a book. When I say venture I mean it- since the book is in first person, we litterally fall headfirst into his daydreams several times throughought the book. Considering there are only 8 chapters total in the book, you can imagine they are rather large chunks as the book is about 400-450 pages long. I am currently in chapter 2 of the book and- even with Eiji's active imagination distracting us from the main course of time and story, enjoying the book immensely.
Eiji is a boy who grew up without his father but knew he was out there- litterally he knew that he was exactly out there considering we start the book in a cafe in Tokyo, across the street from the building where the information upon his father's exact wherabouts can be found, but not easily taken, from a lawyer that goes by the name of Ms. Kato. This boy is on a hunt to find his father, no matter what it takes- and so far although I'm not too far in, it's not easy for him. Sisterless and far away from his little island off the coast of Japan, he is alone and I feel rather naive and this adventure- I can only hope he grows and begins to realize he's not as suave as he thinks.
A probably better summary of my book can be found here on goodreads, and for now I'm off to read again. (This book is hard to read in big chunks due to confusion- I gotta take it slow.) Farewel readers, and good reading to all of you that are getting the newest book in the Divergent series I heard came out today! (Or at least I think that's what series it was.. Either way happy reading!)
