Sideways and other books

Just finished “Friday” (first chapter) of Sideways today. I like the way he described things. He wrote delicately whether it’s about road condition, weather changes or his emotion and thoughts. It’s very enjoyable reading the book and I was often touched along the way while reading it. (It’s quite different from the movie, so I think it’s worth reading, provided you liked the movie.) At the end of “Friday”, I can’t help but feeling sad. I closed the book reluctantly and the heavy sadness lingered so I stayed still for a couple of minutes. I can’t really describe what it was and why. I just felt sad, not particularly for them but for life itself.
After reading “Friday”, I turned to “The Time Traveler’s Wife”, just wanted to see if it’d arouse my interest into actually reading it (I’ve been thinking about reading it for years but never had the nerve to pick it up til recently), and it was GOOD. Now I have three books to read at the same time. =_=
and I’m not counting the Chinese ones I’m reading…
