I almost forgot that I've made a commitment to read a book a month...Nah, i didn't forget. I just don't have the time to finish a book. I do remember my "To Do List" for 2013.
Anyway, i just finished a book today. This made it 2 books completed in 4 months.. Duhh... I have to speed up my reading skill... too slow and too much time wasted. There's a Father Time watching me somewhere, watching how I procrastinate and didn't complete things in given time.
Hehe... Well, this somehow related to the book i read, yes... The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom. I like the author and I think he wrote very well and his books are all about life. He makes me think each time reading his stories.
To cut thing short, here's the synopsis of the book, again I would like to emphasize, I'm not reviewing any title. This one is a must read though... MUST READ if you are serious about your life.
The man who became
Father Time.
In Mitch Albom's
newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for
trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries
and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days,
more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his
freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem
himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.
He returns to our
world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences
a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give
up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To
save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.
Told in Albom's
signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire
readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it
and how precious it truly is.
