What the River Knows (Secrets of the Nile, #1):
"Reread on 11/20/24 *5 stars ✨
Fantastic! Adventure, mystery, intrigue, magic, & (possibly) love. I loved the banter in here as well. I literally need the sequel in my hands right now!" |

“To most people this undoubtedly sounds a terribly dull way to pass the time, watching someone read. I see in it a strange intimacy, witnessing another person as they are taking a journey, mental if you will, but a journey nonetheless. For a book, a good book, is nothing less than a passport to some unknown place, and a truly great book can be a mirror of our being, reflecting hidden parts to which even we can sometimes be blind.

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”

I'm glad you like it! I was expecting to be disappointed because of all the hype, but it lived up to high expectations! Jude was a bit frustrating sometimes, but overall, it was a fun read for me:-)

Thanks for your lovely response and for sending a friend request Malia. Hah, I am actually unable to provide a single title, particularly since I joined this page (I've read countless master pieces since then), but I will always hold "Jane Eyre" dear to me. John Banville, Proust, Lessing and Shakespeare have never disappointed so far, so my answer shifts between the literary currents of these authors...
I can't wait to discuss books with you, greetings from Barcelona till then! ;P

A good choice! Ravens tend to be rather mysterious creatures, do they?

Hi Malia! Thank you for the friend request. You asked me where I would go if I had all the money in the world -- I have several answers for that. First of all, space. Second of all, Hogwarts. And thirdly, I love everything English -- Ireland, Scotland, and New Zealand are probably highest on my list. :)

Hi Malia! I actually haven't gotten to see The Martian yet, but I'm planning on soon! Possibly Sunday :) Things have been so busy lately but that's definitely on my priority list.
I paint a lot, but mostly for myself, same with my writing. I've only let very few people read what I write:)Do you have a favourite author?
