gelid.....
i've done reading memoirs of a geisha and i'm currently perusing contact by carl sagan...two different genres from two equally excellent writers....memoirs is really a good read, brilliant in its nuances and most of the time funny...the author really did a good job in presenting to the reader the minutest details on how a young girl trains to become a geisha and how they live after passing the tests...behind the humor is a poignant story of a girl hoping to be reunited with her family and to finally fulfill her desire to have the man whom she had been longing to spend the rest of her life with...i'm halfway with my reading with contact and it's actually a welcome respite to finally read a science fiction book after more than a year..i used to read isaac asimov novels but carl sagan is equally erudite.i've seen the movie version of the novel and i can say that i enjoyed watching the movie and i like the book as well...i have several pending books to read but i don't feel pressured to finish reading all of 'em.i enjoy the pace...anyhow..i'll be discussing my views on the previous novels i've read...and ill be posting as well in my future blogs my top 10 favorite tomes of all time...tata...XXXX'SSSSS....my title for this entry is not related to what i just wrote...that's because it's really cold while i was composing this post...hahaha:0)
