Love the one you're with by Emily Giffin


My favorite quotes:

"A son is a son until he finds a wife. But a daughter is a daughter forever."

"... that love is the sum of our choices, the strenth of our commitments, the ties that bind us together."

"But maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commmit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all."





It is now time to pull it together, snap out of these sappy love stories and read something literary ... or at least non fiction, informative, intelligent and/or not pathetic!

Something Borrowed


Good book!! ... I am officially in love with the author. Her stories seem to be all messed up stories, but she definitely knows how to toy with my emotions.

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

Finished this book today. It wasn't as good as the Da Vinci Code. It was quite boring compared my reading experience with Dan Brown's famous book. Is this whole crypic, mythical, religious symbology crap boring me now? Maybe it's been overly played these many years since the Da Vinci Code came out. I use to really enjoy historical novels ...

The constant referrals to the holy bible is getting to be quite annoying. Maybe its' just my mood today.

Brooklyn by Colm Toibin

Finished this book the other day. It was alright ... the reviews were correct - the author writes very well and very beautiful. But perhaps I'm just not very literary or appreciate of this story because I found it to be a bit dull. Is it because it wasn't about vampires, sex, drugs? :)
