After the Twilight saga, I couldn't find anything worth reading. Yeah, well, I tried reading The Host by the same author, but I didn't feel the chemistry for Jared as I did for Edward Cullen. What can I say, I love vampires?
Anyway, now I'm just dipping my toes into Bill Bryson's The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, his childhood memoir.
My love for memoirs is only exceeded by my love for childhood memoirs! Till now, I find it exciting and nostalgic to read Roald Dahl's Boy and Going Solo, and would recommend it to anyone, young or old. I love reading about the adventures he went through as a kid and of his kismet in life. It's really amazing how his life turned out.
Bill Bryson's childhood was during the period just after the Great Depression and war. America was full of promise and buoyed by consumerist habits. It was a happy time, especially for a young boy from a good family.
Reading the book makes me want to start my own little journal for the Moses. As if I have the time!!!

If, in the light of things, you fade real, yet wanly withdrawn to our determined and appropriate distance, like the moon left on all night among the leaves, may you invisibly delight this house; O star, doubly compassionate, who came too soon for twilight, too late for dawn, may your pale flame direct the worst in us through chaos with the passion of plain day.
