for one more day

it's been a while, i guess.

since 'In The Country Of Men' and 'Growing Up in Terengganu' did not manage to keep the magic that i had as reading 'The Kite Runner', i lost the momentum.

on reading. on finishing a book.

i tried to get the alchemist done for the nth time, but it didn't work out. i guess i was really in need of something new. i'm still holding my temptation on 'thousand splendid sun', as i don't want the deja-vu thing haunted while i'm leafing the book, so i ended up buying this book.

this is his 3rd book...which i think more like a memoir. well..i skipped the well claimed five people you meet in heavens, as i was a bit skeptical...again it was because to think the possibility of the deja-vu thing as reading books from the same author back to back.

i'm already half through the book...and i guess i can say the magic is back. mitch is doing his best again with this book. the goose-bumps i've been having is just as the same i felt when i read his previous and 'the kite runner'. i guess what's been written at the back is true...half-way through, i feel it already

'For One More Day will make you smile. It will make you wistful. It will make you blink back tears of nostalgia. But most of all, it will make you believe in the eternal power of a mother's love'
