Books I intend to get myself this year. (a.k.a. Why Books Get Me Curious about People.)


 

[one]--Thirteen Reasons Why --This book intrigues me; suicide being something I have never considered (and hope never to) . I'm the type to want to get even, and not wallow in a corner to be pitied. (I have a sense of self, I hope.) So, it interests me what can drive a person to suicide--and how to prevent as such from happening to anyone (and most especially the people I love, whom, thankfully, aren't suicidal people. I think.) Besides, pardon the pun, but this seems to be a novel sort of novel. I might want to record something that way--my life, though, and not my death. Imagine people discovering records of my thoughts in some old CDs fifty years from now. And trust me; I am a talkative person.





[two] --^^ That, or any other sequel to Gone with the Wind. Because I am irked at how late Scarlett realized that she loved Rhett all along. (Why do we ignore things that are right in front of us?) Besides, unlike some other book characters I admire, Scarlett had to gain my approval throughout the course of Gone with the Wind, instead of me liking her at an instant. In other words, she grew--though not enough, it seems. So indeed, with Scarlett, Rhett and the rest, tomorrow is yet another day. (And the next book is yet another must-read.)



[three] It's a classic. Enough said.
