I've got a strong urge to fly
The Beach is a wonderful book. I don't think I've ever read a book like this. . Its just so, so weird. Wonderfully weird.
I have a habit of falling in love with books. . And then when they end it breaks my heart, but I know I have to let them go. Unless there is a sequel, and usually they live on in my mind for some time after I put them down. Especially if they're really weird, like this book. Its about this traveler who is staying at a hostel in Thailand and the guy in the room next to him commits suicide. Before doing that, he hears him rambling on about a beach, and then finds a map to the beach on his door the next day. Him and a French couple decide to go to the beach, which is supposed to be an Eden. . And the whole book is written as if Richard (the main character) is looking back upon it, and telling the story. . And its just so weird. . but beautiful.
I'm gonna go read more.
