And let me tell you my friends, few things in life turn out as/ more than you anticipated. So when my very talented colleague, Zenab Mohammed, was all praise for The Silent Patient by Alex Michealides I was filled with anticipation. So I usually wait for reviews now before I begin this journey with a book, movie or a series. There was a time I would read absolutely anything, but those strands of grey hair on my head have now taught me to be very selective about what I feed my mind. In the quagmire of literature produced today and that has been gracing bookshelves since eons, a good book is like finding a gem in a coalmine.
Its like the beginning of a promising relationship…you are willing to invest the time, forgo your routine tasks and throw yourself in completely. There’s a connection you make, an unmistakable click, when you begin reading a good book.
