A quick word about an excellent book, that probably everyone knew, but me:
The Giver, by Lois Lowry.
I wanted to re-read Brave New World (which is called " The best of worlds" in French) and actually borrowed it at the library :) But yesterday I was not home. I found a copy of the Giver, and recognized the author's name from an other book, the story about a embroidering girl, in a "perfect"-ly controlled society...
I couldn't stop reading. I finished it around 12:30 at night. Me, the girl who can barely keep her eyes open after 10 PM!!!
The American husband told me " oh yeah, it's a sad book, I've read it, it's a required reading."
Well I'm glad it wasn't a school assignment to me, because I enjoyed it all the more!
Excellent, I really deeply recommend it! And if you've read it at school and hated it, please give it a second chance. :)
It left me thinking about life and death, and the meaning of death, if any... I hadn't spent time thinking about that for a long time...
Not much time today
