Three Books at a Time

I finally got a chance to read! I’m actually reading three books right now. I’m reading The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, which is amazing! So far, it’s about a doctor who delivered his wife’s twins. The little girl had Down Syndrome, so he told the nurse to take her away and told his wife she had died. The little boy is perfectly healthy and they raise him. The nurse ends up raising the daughter herself and moving to another state. I can’t wait to finish reading it.

The other book I’m reading is The Little Prince. I read it once, and then I decided I had to read it again. It’s a children’s book, but it’s so philosophical and everything is a symbol of something else. I especially liked this quote from it: a little flower says “I have to put up with 2 or 3 caterpillars if I want to get to know the butterflies. I thought that was so relevant to every day life.

Finally, I’m reading A Little Princess on my breaks at Barnes and Noble. I saw the movie when I was young (I actually own it now) and I cry every time I watch it. It’s the most magically sad story. As I’m reading it, though, I’m finding that I prefer the movie to the book, which is uncommon. But honestly, if you ever see this movie in a video store or something, you have to see it. It’s amazing.
