Rain is falling all around
Thunder rain and wind
A song of storms begins

Play a song, A melody
Then everybody will see
The hero of time
Has come

The last book I read was Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.


I picked it up at a used book store because I was familiar with and enjoyed some of his other works. I have to say, I really like Neil Gaiman's writing style and stories.

As for books I am currently reading, there's a small list. Sadly, I probably won't get around to finishing these books for a while. I left them at home.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland


Snowcrash


The Subtle Knife

Wild Swans by Jung Chang

Its an interesting biography of her family from the days of her great-great-grandfather who was a Manchu warlord, through their lives under Mao Tse-Tung, an onto her life in the west.

So far its a fairly balanced depiction of some of Chinese history, because she goes into great detail about her grandmother's and mother's life, thoughts and feelings as the world around them changed during WWII on through now. It is interesting to see how their understanding and opinions of the Japanese occupation, Chinese civil war and Communist rule was frequently changing.

If you don't have a lot of knowledge or interest in this history, it is still a very interesting story of survival.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
