i have just finished the orange girl novel by jostein gaardner. and i say he is one of the most profound writers of all time. all his novels seem to have a bit of universe in them but limiting to the world we call EARTH. he has the perfect blend of philosophical riddles but at the same time mind twisting stories you can't help but think twice. the orange girl is really a modern fairy tale since it could happen to anyone. and it is not far from being true either. maybe once in a lifetime someone named veronika fell in love with jon olav. and they discover this book and decided to name their son georg. the more i'd be delighted when i find that they live in Norway.
when you choose life, you choose death. sad but true. it is the unbearable true we must all learn to live by. and hoping for something that is unlikely to happen is something we call hope.
i'm tired. i think i need rest.
