THE ZAHIR

what a delightful purchase i've made! whining as i tried to stand up from my seat, i urged my tired feet to walk toward a hudson news shop at the las vegas airport b/c my flight was delayed in taking off. there, i quickly scanned the small book section doubtful i'd find anything beyond your run-of-the-mill cheesy paperbacks and revolting political bullcrap stuff. but thanks be to goodness there was actually a book that seemed interesting. so i paid 15 bucks w/c is most likely too much but was much less than i was anticipating to pay, so that was cool.

and so far so good!!! i'm reading the zahir by paul coelho. it's on some bestseller list (hence this shop carrying copies) and i figured it was b/c of the recent success of another book of his i'd read, the alchemist. but how deliciously surprising that i love it so far! i am fascinated by the character, marie - who seems to be in some respects, the type of woman i would like to be.

stay twiddly-tuned!!! i would've likely finished the book by now if i weren't so tired from this weekend. in fact, i'd like to stay up to read more, but i don't know if i could manage it.
