Book
You know sometimes you just dont have the mood to do work.You can force yourself by putting the materials right smack in your face and think about all the shit stuff that could happen to you later if you dont start it now. But you just cant do it. Theoretically, you can but practically speaking you can't.
This kind of things you can only do it if you feel like it.
Just finished reading the book "The Catcher in the Rye" and it's pretty marvellous i'd say. I think it has a simple story and boring to a certain extent. But the writer is good. He's smooth and you don't get smooth writers that often. Some writers just jumps from topic to topic like they're trying to write an exposition type of essay and it's not that smooth. I mean, they are pretty good writers too but the cohesion of the whole book of such writers are carried by the weight of having to present a generic plot or something. They wana tell you so many stuff that it's just...just different and rocky.
No. Smooth writers are such that they write almost to a point of blabberism. They can tell you all the nonsense in the world and yet you dont really realise that's it's all quite a blabber. They're so suave and they write like they're sitting right there infront of you in that velvet couch, telling you all that stuff in the book. And it's so smooth you don't even realise where's the start and where's the end. No commercial breaks either. You just glide along.
The good thing about this book is, it's not too thick.
I mean you wouldn't wana read a thousand million pages of someone's blabber would you? This kind of things, you'd get sick of it after awhile if you don't quite get the point why the hell the writer started on this book in the first place. I mean out of the smoothies, this guy has some sense!
Reading this book reminds me alot about Smelly.He was the one who recommended this book while we were browsing through Borders the other time. I mean that was so long ago but i could remember all the details that happened in that point of time. I knew i had always cast an apprehensive interest on that book for quite some time but i haven't got the nerve to buy it. Cos it's pretty ex for that size of book if you think about it! haha..I mean i can sound really stupid here but it's really what it is. what if it turns out like some crap book and its so small!! Ok that's a very stupid kind of thinking but i dont give a damn actually. that's just how i thought and felt those times before i bought the book. But Smelly picked the book and said "this' a good one"...."made me cry". Hmmm...yeah. That's a good advertisement gimmick but it sure hell worked on me.
Now i sorta know why he said that. The book's not too bad in its own sense, but i think it's bloody brilliant cos of Smelly. Smelly made that book good in alot of ways. And it's a pity I dont really talk to him now. He's such a strange boy.
But i sure kinda miss Smelly.
