Bookish Quotes
"What makes a book live? A book lives through the passionate recommendation of one reader to another. Nothing can throttle this basic impulse in the human being. Despite the views of cynics and misanthropes, it is my belief that men will always strive to share their deepest experiences."

Oh-my-God! (pronounced in the way that only Janis from Friends knows how to do best!) This was the first RABCK for me this year, and also the first book i've received from Spain.. EVER! I love Spain, i love spanish people, and i love anything related to them. So i love this book as well without even having read it yet, but just because it came to me from my imaginary paradise! Thank you sooooooo very much ariuca for sending it, along with the other surprises! I'll surely keep my free ticket for accommodation in Madrid in hope to use it really soon! You're a treasure!(((((ariuca))))) ps. i liked a note that i found in the book written by another bookcrosser saying they find it amazing that the book has travelled to so many distant places, even though they've never been abroad. Greece has right now been added to the book's travelling history and as soon as i finish reading it, the journey will go on.. there are so many other countries missing! |

the truth is that i have never really liked reading short stories, i have always considered them as impromptu, work without much thinking where events are quickly described without allowing the reader to think between the words. But this time proved me wrong. Like many others before me i especially liked the first story opening the book, but also the last one. The first story made me think of how much can be revealed under darkness and thus enlighten. How much easier it is for someone to open up when they don't clearly see the person before them, how darkness makes us feel transparent, as if we face other people but in the meantime avoid them as well. I also got quite emotional when reading what really happened with Shukumar and his baby.Concerning the last story, i was amazed like i always am, with people like Mala and her husband, who leave their country going someplace completely different from what they know and believe in so as to live a better life. Accept a job offer and make a new life from the scratch. I wish i had the courage to do the same. Thank you ariuca once again for sending to me this book, i'll try and keep it circulating. It's done so many successful travels so far so it deserves to keep on doing so! |

Released 4 yrs ago (9/28/2007 UTC) at postal release in To a bookcrosser, A RABCK -- Controlled Releases WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE NOTES: It's times like this that make me think that someone's watching for me... The book is on it's way to Belgium where bestfriends is already waiting for it. This connection between the book's last three stops is intriguing for me. Spain, Greece, Belgium. This gives reasons for me to believe that coincidences in life are not always coincidences... or maybe all this lies in different points of view?.. Anyway, that was all personal pondering... To cut a long story short, i hope bestfriends will like reading this book as much as she did with other Jhumpa Lahiri's books! |

 The book arrived in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes today.Thank you so much pepita-di-Corfu for this RABCK and also for the postcard and the whole stack of bookmarks! I'm certainly also intrigued by you personal remark (Spain-Greece-Belgium)! I'm sorry you did not want a book in return. I will mention your name in my "Hall of Fame" in my profile, not to forget. Maybe in the future? I can assure you though, that if I can't "pay it back", I will "pay it forward"! Looking forward to reading this. I have at least two books ahead of it, but will come back here to let you know, what I thought about it. |

Will be sent to rapturina in Rotterdam, my home town in the Netherlands. I'm glad she had not read it yet, as she was the one who hosted the ring "the Namesake" I joined. So that's how I first met with Jhumpa Lahiri's writing. The perfect candidate for this RABCK! |
