The Time Keeper

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.

I've Got Your Number...

Guess whose number i have got? Correct answer wins no prize :p

I'm just in the mood of blogging today... Rainy Sunday... Plan to go to FRIM has got to cancel. Nothing much to do at home after completing house chores. So sitting in front of the pc finding things to do after tired of browsing thru facebook... So I'm gonna make my lazy Sunday more fruitful. Blog that's it.

I said i wanted to read a book a month and this is the book I have completed for January 2013... Well done to myself, pat on the shoulder, ahem...

Sophie Kinsella is my all time favourite chic-lit author. Bought all her books and read all of them so far. Even the one written under her 'other name', Madeline Wickham.

Not going to summarize the content of the book, you want to know, you go and read. But it was a good book this one. It's bit slow at the beginning but once you have reached the peak you can't stop reading them.
