L'Elegance du Herisson
I just finished the book I was talking about earlier today.
It was absolutely magnificent. I haven't been moved this much by a book in a long long time. I've read amazing books, beautiful books, but this is a book that can change a life.
This is a book that can make you FEEL, not just live in another world for a bit, but just feel.
I dont even know how to explain it at this point.
It's a book on the same level as Little Tree, and Ishmael, two other books that have affected my life tremendously when I read them.
The worst part? Is that I know so many people have picked this book up and found it terribly boring... so boring that they stopped reading it after a few chapters and will never pick it up again.
Beauty in the midst of pain and nothingness... that is what life is truly about.
Funny enough, one of my good friends called me tonight and we were talking about this exact thing. How appreciating life was not being always happy and excited about everything, but about observing a leaf blowing in the wind, or a bird taking flight in front of you. Those little things that few people notice, that are truly important.
