So my sister gave me her book to read, Memoirs of a Geisha. It’s really thick and she treasures it a lot…and I mean, a lot. But she wants me to read it since she’s been raving about it all the time, hehe.
It definitely looks like a good read too, and especially if the book costs $25.00 (US)! I know it’s a hard copy but still, you could buy like, five or six or even seven toothbrushes with 25 bucks, heh. But I have seen more expensive books. Like those huge children’s hardback books that are even larger than the toddler itself.
Tehee, I think I had one of those books when I was little, it was way taller than me and it talked about the world and stuff. I didn’t really read it a lot, nor did I even like it at all.
Anyway, back to Memoirs of a Geisha. I’m just starting to read the beginning and it’s really good so far. I read it religiously every night. The book even has Arthur Golden’s signature in it. How cool is that? *bounces*
Arthur Golden is my favorite author to get inspiration from. Have you seen the description and details in everything? It’s such an interesting way of writing.
Excerpt from beginning:
“I’ll be happy to try to describe him for you, but I can think of only one way to do it – by telling you about a certain tree that stood at the edge of the sea cliffs in Yoroido. This tree was as smooth as driftwood because of the wind, and when I was a little girl of four or five I found a man’s face on it one day. That is to say, I found a smooth patch as broad as a plate, with two sharp bumps at theoutside edge for cheekbones. They cast shadows suggesting eye sockets, and beneath the shadows rose a gentle bump of a nose. The whole face tipped a bit to one side, gazing at me quizzically; it looked to me like a man with as much certainty about his place in this world as a tree has. Something about it was so meditative, I imagined I’d found the face of a Buddha.”
See? Isn’t the description beautiful?
Bah, but I’m also tired this morning because I stayed up late last night playing WEBoggle. Hehe, it’s addicting once you play the first round because there are so many words that you can find ^_^
I think I played till like 3 or 4 in the morning, hehe…I saw one of my friends online playing WEBoggle, haha. I guess she’s addicted to it too, our Science Teacher introduced it to us a few days ago, and she said that she was addicted to playing it too. Fun fun. Then I got addicted…it’s sort of contagious, you know?
I have the real Boggle, but it isn’t as fun as WEBoggle, hehe. If anyone is interested on playing, the link is
