Learn a new word~ Inimitable: in�im�i�ta�ble: matchless/defying imitation



PL brought for me a whole lot of books on Cloud's birthday and I've finished reading two books. The moonstone by Wilkie Collins and Life Cycle of Homo Sapiens, Male by Colin Cheong.

Didn't really like the language by Wilkie Collins but the story just drew me in. At first, I was really trapped into thinking that the young lady was the one who stole the stone herself. Then the story unfolded, with twists and turns here and there and I was shocked when I read the last part of the book. Only then did I manage to guess correctly the culprit. Well, it's a bit hard to believe some parts of the story. Then again, stories are stories.

Today I picked up the book by Colin Cheong. There were a few short stories here and there which I thought quite close to my heart. Even though it's about males, I could remember those stages of my life when I experienced similar things.

The next book I'll be reading will be The inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse. The cover looks pretty engaging and I believe the story will be too. It is quite inspiring to read how someone like Wodehouse could give up a career in finance back in the 19th century in England to become a successful writer of comedies. He was later knighted and even has a wax figure in Mdm Tussaud's.

Reading is a joy.
