Reading


One of life's most enjoyable moments is to read. 

Recently, I bought this book by Jodi Picoult - Keeping Faith. 

"For the second time in her marriage, Mariah White catches her husband with another woman, and Faith, their seven year-old daughter, witnesses every painful minute. In the aftermath of a sudden divorce, Mariah struggles with depression and Faith begins to confide in an imaginary friend.

At first, Mariah dismisses these exchanges as a child's imagination. But when Faith starts reciting passages from the Bible, develops stigmata, and begins to perform miraculous healings, Mariah wonders if her daughter might indeed be seeing God. As word spreads and controversy heightens, Mariah and Faith are besieged by believers and disbelievers alike, caught in a media circus that threatens what little stability they have left."

And i love what Jodi Picoult wrote,"As unscientific as it seems, well, it would be nice to lay the responsibilities and pain on someone else's larger shoulders."

I usually read while taking bus rides, that's why every bus ride is always a fufilling ride.
