Everyone has a book they love and wouldn’t trade for others. As for me, these are my faves…
NOTE: List is randomly done and not in any ‘fave’ order. Texts after each title is my personal insight on the literary material.
Memoirs of a Geisha
I had to remind myself it was fiction. The book is compelling, exotic, bordering on the complexities and power of human and female sexuality. I admit the pacing was slow but I believe the pace was a fine build-up for the story.
Da Vinci Code
It’s very gripping! I wasn’t able to let go of the book! Intricate plot amidst very controversial issues on religion that could change the world. There had been too many theories whether this book is real or legend. Whatever the case may be, the book brings out a controversy that has long been buried and awakens the world to its existence and call for truth.
The Little Prince
A short and simple tale on what people should learn on love, life and friendship. Told in a way to actually educate children, the book encompasses human emotion and treated in such a simple way of bringing out the inner child to believe what we have forgotten about the essential simple truths of living. At least, that’s what I think.
The Secret Garden
This is the first novel I’ve ever read so I hold on it with a certain level of sentimentality. I also especially love gardens and plants so this book early on drew me into its magic. This literary classis is one of those which could draw you back to childhood memories, wherein you believe that magic exists somewhere around you and it is possible to conjure it with a bit of imagination. It’s author is the same as from Little Lord Fauntleroy and Litle Princess.
Little Princess
I believe everybody had heard of Princess Sara Crewe, a story of a rich girl who maintained the dignity of a princess even when she became almost a beggar when her father died from an illness. Her story is something girls would love to apply in their lives and shows the moral of not letting go of who we are despite any challenges.
