Hopeful nerd cum lifesaver

Bismillah ar Rahman ar Rahim

As i sit here, i wonder how am i actually going to manage writing blog? lets started with book review, shall we? and i assure, this ‘blog’ will be just another ‘conversation’, like plenty others that happened each and everyday, in my mind between me, my conscieous and consientiousness. to those who think i spelt wrong, screw you americans ! spelling, like recipes for delicious dessert and size of your laptop’s memory, are things to understand and not to boast; as long as you know its edible who cares it pronounced ‘to-MAA-to’ or ‘to-MAY-to’?

right. back to the point. as ia m currently working in a night shift, i cant complete a book in my usual speed. i am currently engaged with Alexander McCall Smith’s superb 44 Scotland Street. Its so plain, but suprisingly plain (Todd’s trip to london). Its dragging, but purposefully dragging (pat’s dinner with her neighbour). Some of the dialogues are excruciating (bertie and his mum) and plots are slow at certain points where it shouldn’t be (peploe’s painting), but i am rewarded (or punished, depends on who are you) with the richness of characters and purposeless side-kicks’ adventures reflecting how unpredictable life is.

I have no idea (yet) the connection between pushy parents and antropologist, but i’m hoping to find out in the finishing of this book, which should be anytime soon. and i suppose, like those boring films that i like and boring dvds collection that i own, this book could be ‘like watching the paint dry’ moments.

To conclude, i have not finished reading the book yet, but the prospect of enjoying this book is still unclear at the moment.

To those who continue to read this far, congratulation.
