Paradise by Judith McNaught

I know now as I've known since I was a quarter of the book, this is a wonderful love story. It is indeed the best romance novel I've read so far. The characters strong in all the areas that matter. The amazing commitment to her career, her family name and her man are superbly respectable. Matt Farrell's charisma is wonderfully narrated directly and indicated. I can just feel his manly superiority oozing with amazing sexual appeal. Totally any woman's dream. Totally opposite of the bloody stupid Shades of Gray rubbish. I think Paradise in so many ways though there are similarities, is much better than the first McNaught's novel which I read, 'Perfect'. I'd love to dream living the sweet dream life of Meredith and Matt tonight.

The monk who sold his Ferrari

The book is ladden with good advice I agree. One who completes reading this book is highly likely to be enlightened of a better way to live I agree. The wisdom of the monks passed over to the once cocky lawyer led him to realize that his material wealth means little compared to peace of mind.....now, does he really enjoy peace of mind now that he himself is considered to be within the monk's community? Is he really happy now? He's healthier, yes! But is he happier? I'm not convinced. In fact the last few sentences let me imagine him as a deeply troubled sad soul.

The alchemist by Paulo Coelho

I read this way before short time after I bought it at Popular book store, but cant remember whether I finished it then. Certainly finished it this time around, down till the epilogue. Don't quite like it when the boy was certain about looking for the gypsy woman to give half of his treasure to her as he had promised. Why? Because I'm not comfortable with this kind of honesty, is it really in existence anywhere in this world that I've been living in for 41years now? I feel like this narration is a non fiction. I actually skipped the preface but now since I have to check and be certain of whether this is a work of fiction or non, I've got to read the preface. Will write again soon as I finish. Ahhh, have read the preface and.....he said that this is a symbolic book. Huh? Well, I guess the boy Santiago could be the author or someone he imagines to be in search of the magical power of alchemy. Huh? Gosh, I'm slow with this.

The street lawyer

By John Grisham. This is the second lawyer novel I managed to complete in several months. Michael Brock is the main character but I think his New boss Mordecai is the hero. Michael made a drastic turn by leaving all potential inflow of riches and glamour by leaving his big firm and got his hands dirty with the street folks' rights to live. He also chose to leave his wife, this I was hoping to turn out differently in the end. I think the mood is not much different from Mr Grisham's earlier novel which I read prior to this The Litigators, just that the earlier one is based on a more "right the wrong in bigger scale I.e. the good lawyer against the pharmaceutical / consumer goods manufacturer giants while this one is about people in the streets vs those with much to be contented with. Yeah, it's quite another good read letting me be familiar of another new word "eviction
