Ha! So much for projects.
The second I found out College doesn't start until Thursday, I kissed good-bye to the computer screen, curled under my blanket and let the fascinating world of Books take me away.
I was stuck with The Da Vinci Code for over a month.
I know it's supposed to be a great book and all that, but somewhere in the middle I just got lost.
After that it was a real drag!
I just couldn't get myself to finish it.
I used be such a book freak.
And over the summer I read really shady books like The God of Small Things and some sad chic-lit novel.
So basically after a very book-dragging Summer I got stuck with Da Vinci.
I was starting to get really paranoid.
Was the computer really taking over my life?
Had it replaced the love I once had for the sacred pages of knowledge bound together to create something magical? :P
As it ends up, it really was the fault of the books.
Now I'm reading Desert Royal.
It's the third book to the Princess series.
They are two of my favourite books and I read them a long time ago.
It sort of comforting to go back to one of your favorite books and relive the moments.
The book is about the life of Saudi princess, Sultana, and the state of affairs from her eyes.
While most Saudi women have either resigned to their faith or believe that this is the life God has chosen for them, Sultana's rebellion against injustice inflicted upon women and hypocrisy of their culture, comes as a refreshing change.
It's a must read for those who are deeply concerned by the brutality of this world on the fairer sex.
Well that's all I have to say.
Tata for now :)
