I finished the book! One
I finished the book! One day earlier than planned, and I'm extremely pleased with myself, cuz that means I can start on Murakami tomorrow. :)
I shall write about the book tomorrow. Today, the most I can do is to share a wonderful passage with you. :)
"And yet these events have formed Gogol, shaped him, determined who he is. They were things for which it was impossible to prepare but which one spent a lifetime looking back at, trying to accept, interpret, comprehend. Things that should never have happened, that seemed out of place and wrong, these were what prevailed, what endured, in the end."
- The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri
And for me, this is the precise reason why every moment of life is so precious.
