You know you've read a good book
when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you
have lost a friend. ~Paul Sweeney

A book is the only place in which you can examine
a fragile thought without breaking it,
or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face.
It is one of the few havens remaining
where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy. ~Edward P. Morgan

Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disfranchised.
No barrier of the senses shuts me out from
the sweet, gracious discourse of my book friends.
They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
The things I have learned and the things I have been taught
seem of ridiculously little importance compared with their
“large loves and heavenly charities.
— Helen Keller

Veronika Decides to Die & Brida
by Paulo Coelho


http://merlin.pl/Brida_Paulo-Coelho,...89933-60-7.jpg


Brida is the story of a search of learning by a young girl who is seemingly naïve, but she is neither naïve nor lacking in intellect, since she has had a few incarnations, in which she knew a lot about being a witch. Brida is a beautiful, ambitious, and successful person, and she has a very supportive boyfriend, Lorenz. The story takes place in Ireland during 1983 and 1984.
The story opens with Brida telling Magus that she wants to learn magic. What Brida doesn't know at that moment is that she is Magus's soul mate. This she will find out toward the end of the book together with who she is and what the deeper meaning in her life is, by getting transported to a parallel universe and through other supernatural experiences.
Magus is the teacher of the tradition of the sun. Brida's other teacher is Wicca, who is a witch, and she teaches Brida the tradition of the moon.
This story's construction does not live up to the quality of Coelho's other work; however, it is easy to find the characters real enough, and the book is interspersed with spiritual sayings and messages. Since the plot has no twists, the storyline seems to be prolonged, possibly because the writer wants the reader to pay attention to the messages rather than the story.

Veronika is a young, beautiful woman from Ljubljana, Slovenia who appears to have the perfect life, but nevertheless decides to commit suicide by ingesting too many sleeping pills. While she waits to die, she decides to read a magazine.
After seeing an article in the magazine which wittily asks "Where is Slovenia?," she decides to write a letter to the press justifying her suicide, the idea being to make the press believe that she has killed herself because people don't even know where Slovenia is. Her plan fails and she wakes up in Villete, a mental hospital in Slovenia, where she is told she has a week to live.
Her presence there affects all of the mental hospital's patients, especially Zedka, who has clinical depression; Mari, who suffers from panic attacks; and Eduard, who has schizophrenia, and with whom Veronika falls in love. During her internment in Villete she realises that she has nothing to lose and can therefore do what she wants, say what she wants and be who she wants without having to worry about what others think of her; as a mental patient, she is unlikely to be criticized. Because of this newfound freedom Veronika experiences all the things she never allowed herself to experience, including hatred, love and sexual awakening.
In the meantime, Vilette's head psychiatrist, Dr. Igor, attempts a fascinating but provocative experiment. Can you "shock" someone into wanting to live by convincing her that death is imminent? Like a doctor applying defibrillator paddles to a heart attack victim, Dr. Igor's "prognosis" jump-starts Veronika's new appreciation of the world around her.

thank you sweeti for being here.

here's a novel i've just finished reading it
Janre Eyer by Charlotte Bronte ..

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IRqJUzIucO.../jane-eyre.jpg



The story opens on a wet, wintry day. When we first meet her, Jane is a 10-year-old orphan who is living
with an aunt-in-law who doesn't love her and cousins who despise her.

When Jane unexpectedly defends herself against her bullying older cousin, John,
she is banished to a room that is particularly frightening to her. It's the room where her uncle died when she was an infant, with his last request being that his wife would raise Jane as her own.

Her resulting fright and hysteria, and her aunt's cold mercilessness in response,
set the stage for the next chapter in Jane's life. She is sent away to school.

years later, Jane ends up as the governess
of the little girl who is the ward of Edward Fairfax Rochester, a wealthy bachelor.

How this young girl--who describes herself as "poor, plain and little"--
finds an all-consuming love, loses it, then seeks it again--is the basis of the story...


"The character of Jane is, to me,
one of the most admirable and appealing fictional characters of all time.
Poor and plain she may be, but her spirit is indomitable"..

Here are a few famous quotations from the novel :-


..........
"If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked,
while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt,
you would not be without friends."

"Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you.
Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though
I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is,
tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you
go to Ireland, with all that distance between us,
I am afraid that this cord will be snapped,
and I shall bleed inwardly. ."

"...I looked at my face in the glass, and felt it was no longer plain:
there was hope in its aspect, and life in its colour:
and my eyes seemed as if they had beheld the fount of fruition,
and borrowed beams from the lustrous ripple."
