so, i am hanging out right now in my friend’s lab. could u actually call it “hanging out”? and don’ get cheated by the word “lab”. it has nothing to do with the good words such as “working”, “researching”, or whatever. i am actually waiting for a friend. lord, he is so slow! i have waited for almost one hour now, and still i don’t get any news from him. it’s not that i don’t like waiting. i don’t like waiting without doing anything!!
so here i am, trying to suppress my impatient by writing this obscured blog.
hhhhhhhh, what should i write this time?
let’s talk about the most admired novel author in my life! hehe. Sidney Sheldon. kennen Sie ihn? do u know him?
well, i’ve read all his books, and only two or three of them that i don’t like. the one i like the most is “Master of the Game”. it starts with the story of a kid, dreaming to be rich, by hunting for diamonds in the south africa long away from his homeland in england. well, that is not the main story. the main character focuses on his granddaughter, which later inherited the boy’s great fortune after he succeeded finding a pile of diamond (with suspenseful events and adventures). the story goes on a life drama after that. i know most people don’t like reading about life drama, but the story was one filled with determination, power, wealth, tricks, lies, hatred, love, and so on. well,that was the first novel that kept me a whole night without sleeping. besides the compelling stories, i like the way Sidney wrote his story. well, surely reading the english version is so much relieving and comprehending than the translated ones.
well, most of his writings are an old ones. He published two more books recently (i mean, within 6 years, if i’m not mistaken), but i don’t like them very much. the new author that can relive my excitement is Dan Brown. I know he is famous for “The Da Vinci Code” he wrote. well, i must admit that he did quite a nice job in that one, leaving me quite astonished with all the truth in the end. he also plotted quite a nice mind puzzling codes. however, that’s not my favorite writing. i like “angels and demons” better. i don’t know why. When i read da vinci, i stopped for sleep in the night. that was not the case with angels n demons. i barely slept through the dawn, although i had to read it in my computer. wow, i’m looking forward to reading another piece from him. apparently he writes quite good novels too.
another author: john grisham. well, i’ve tried several books, but i don’t like his type of story, i guess, despite the bestselling title he gets. the only books i finished reading were “the rainmaker” (in which the main character’s name is the same as mine!! hahah) and “pelican brief” (the reason i finished this because the movie version was starred by julia roberts, my all time favorite artist!).
paolini. wow, this kid is just wonderful. in his so young age, he can devise quite a thorough story of eragon. the story is nothing like LOTR in complexity and literature, but still he can create quite a nice imagination. it wins my heart over harry potter, i guess. i read potter so i won’t be left behind with all the chitchat, i guess. hhahha. no lah, i like potter too, i just don’t like his character. kind of arrogant. and it seems like he is not the best after all. i dream for perfection which he doesn’t have. lOl
arrrgh, my friend is still not coming. i almost run out of favorite author. hahahaha. michael crichton is a good one too. he usually writes science fiction. I was first hooked to his books through “timeline”, about a time travel machine. wow, it was full of adventure. “Sphere” is very mysterious. it has been made into film, if i’m not mistaken.
arrrggghhh again. he’s still not coming. but i’m out. it’s kind of exhausting writing this blog. hahaha. do u like any writer in particular? mayb u can recommend something for me to read. something that will revive my night long habit of reading. ahh, it’s hard to find good books now. all the new books do is copying a story, especially from the da vince core story. huh!
thankfully, here he comes now. also, auf wiedersehen. c ya! nb: don’t have time to make it colorful this time. lol
