Brida.
Thursday, February 25, 2010,2:10 PM Ok, so today I finally got my lazy self up and out the door and headed on over to the library! Yay! I haven't read a decent book in ages. Its about time I start reading again and get my brain gears grinding again. They've been a tad dusty. So, anyways I decided to grab four books. A little bit of something. I got Brida by Paul Coehlo, the first book I plunged into. And I also got The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Stories by Edgar Allan Poe, The Path Not Taken by Robert Frost, and A Free Life by Han Jin. Obviously the Poe and Frost books are more like collections of poems, but I love poetry. Poe, Tennyson, and Dickinson are among my favorites. I love all the greats. But anyways, getting back on track, I love Brida so far. Paul Coehlo definitely does not disappoint. I became a fan right away after reading The Alchemist. And Brida is exactly the same. It does not disappoint or let down his readers! For anyone who hasn't read The Alchemist, I truly recommend it. Its life changing. It surely made me look at life different. I'm about to finish up Brida so I'll let you guys know if its life changing or not. Long story short, its a book about a girl named Brida. She's looking for love in the simplest terms. She comes to realize that looking for love is more than just about looking for having someone there. Its about finding yourself and completing yourself as a whole. Its a beautifully written book. Its simplistic. The diction is not grandiose and complex, but simple and straightforward. Paul Coehlo wants, us, readers to understand and comprehend what he's trying to write so there isn't much need for the fancy language. I simply love it. Its the kind of style I'd write in. Simple and plain, but gets to the point and touches the heart. I guess all I have to do now is finish up reading Brida and then blog about that. Besides that, I want to get back into reading Nicholas Sparks' books. He wrote The Notebook, Nights In Rodanthe, and Dear John which, by the way, were all turned into major cinematic movies. And after watching The Notebook and reading the book itself, I fell in love. He's a great author and captures love and romance perfectly. I love it! Eeek, books get me soooo excited and jumpy. Haha. Look at me, I'm such a nerd. I love books. Its like candyland for me when I'm in a bookstore or library. Either that or a makeup store. Remember, I love makeup just as much. Haha. Anyways, I'll keep reading. And to everyone else, keep reading too! It helps with your language and your vocabulary. And below I have a photo of the cover of Brida. Oh what fun, right? Haha, I know...I'm a nerd. -_- ![]() Yours Truly, Kia Yang |
