Revisited one of my favorite stories in a different format. And, surprise surprise, even the graphic novel can make me cry.

"Few in this world are ever simply nasty; those who hurt us are themselves in pain. The appropriate response is hence never cynicism not aggression but, at the rare moments one can manage it, always love."

All the emotions: a lot of funny, plenty of sweet, a little sad.

Some say dated, I say timeless. Holden Caulfield is both naive and wise beyond his years. A classic in every sense.

A rare instance where I saw the movie before I read the book. Both are entertaining. 3.5/5 stars for the book.

Science made easy, interesting and insightful along the same line as "Stiff" by Mary Roach.

First line: "One night, not long ago, a man found himself collapsed in a hallway, clutching his leg like a wounded bear."

Last line: "All you have to do is close your eyes."

Poolside relaxing not complete without a book. Off to Dreamland...

"Sleep isn't a break from our lives. It's the missing third of the puzzle of what it means to be living."

First line: "The king stood in a pool of blue light, unmoored."

Last line: "He likes the thought of ships moving over the water, toward another world just out of sight."

"This is one of those places where you don't notice everyone's dropping dead around you till you've already drunk the poisoned wine."

"This was during the final month of the era when it was possible to press a series of buttons on a telephone and speak with someone on the far side of the earth."

Page 30, and I'm already getting scared.

It is SO long. But worth it.
