Hi All,
It's been sometime and I am not keeping with maintaining my blogs actively. This year, I have decided to resume and allocate time. Now back to the my ramblings below:
Often you wonder, you will fall into which category - the group which remembers or the one which forgets. I read this quote in one of the online links which I used to skim daily and it triggers the above thought. I am sure as soon as you read this quote, there will be quick evaluation in our mind (Master of the game - Our thinking).
"I divide all readers into two classes; those who read to remember and those who read to forget!"
We wanted to re-read some books and chew on it, to get all the inner meanings/inner pleasure. But I haven't tried it yet, since sometimes strangely I started to feel this on every book I am coming across.
Also we used to have the tendency sometimes to complete the book to know its ending/story etc and to move on to the next book you have planned to read or because of the interest in the next book which is growing day by day.
I completed reading this book "A Crack in the wall" by Claudio Pineiro yesterday. An Argentinian mystery novel translated to English by Miranda France. It gives us the perspective of an architect when he sees is big city. The story is revolving in the busiest aisles of the city Buenos Aires. Being one among the lucky person to live near Chicago (not exactly near, but can reach in an hour or so as you know); I wonder what Pablo Simo (hero/Architect in this novel) will think, when he get a chance to see Chicago.
Pablo was asked to come up with 5 most beautiful buildings in Buenos Aires which is famous for its architecture. If I were asked about 5 beautiful places I enjoyed in Chicago downtown; My master(mind) commands to jot down the below places in the following order.
- Art institure of Chicago
- Bean/Cloud Gate
- Buckingham Fountain
- Sears/Willis Tower
- the Lake front near Museuem (Planetarium, Aquarium and the Field Museum buildings considered as one)
So tell me which of the books you like to read again and again or you enjoyed and why ?
