![]() ![]() ![]() To put it bluntly, in the words of one of the characters, ‘And all of us, in one way or another, are mad.’ ![]() That, of course, puts Einstein, Columbus, even Edmund Hillary and the Beetles on the list of madmen. Madness is living in a separate world that you create yourself, a world others consider ‘different’. We all seem to have perverted ideas on what madness is, but Coelho’s book provides the simple answer: Madness is creating our own world and choosing to live in it, without concern about other things that do not matter. The fundamental question that Coelho puts forth is on what madness actually is. In Veronika decides to Die, the extremely masterful Paulo Coelho does what he is best at: forcing us to ponder upon things we all know, and making us see them in a whole new light. ![]()

Now, with a few more years and books under my belt, I can see that it's pretty standard for fiction to have people "doing it." I used to think it was so racy! And I now see that this is probably superior to most romances, with a female who overcomes loss and dependancy to find a community of women wherever she had to go, collected skills, defended herself, and learned to love again, hah. They were playing Nintendo games (boring) and I was looking at the pictures and knick-knacks until, a book!, saved from falling asleep! It looked like a naughty book, with its huge cover photo of the woman with a smaller picture of a couple starting to "do it." I admit, I skipped ahead until I found the, ahem, key passage and then asked my brother's friend's mom if I could borrow it. I remember exactly how I first came across it, at the home of my brother's friend. Now that I've finally stumbled across a copy at a used paperback bookstore, I see that it's classified as a plain "novel" and not a "romance." Coulda fooled me! And did, when I was a stuttering, shy, nerdy girl who wore glasses with big frames (the glasses have changed). This fine piece of writing popped my romance novel cherry manymany years ago. No one has rated or reviewed this! I'm shocked. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When Dan said it’s party night - right before the bugger sneaked off - I thought we’ll crash in one of the popular ‘royals’ houses. However, this is on a whole different level. There are even butlers serving drunk teenagers more drinks than they need. The vaulted ceilings and the sweeping stairs only add to how ridiculously grandiose this place is - even for Royal Elite’s level. Golden arcs decorate the entrance all the way to the massive lounge area. Okay, that was lame, but I kind of insert the Vikings in any similes I make. To say the place is huge would be like saying the Vikings are tiny. When Dan and I walked inside, I had to double-check and see if we were somehow trespassing into the queen’s holiday mansion and if I should tell her majesty that I saw the drunk captain of the rugby team piss in her pool. AKA the mother of all freaking parties in Royal Elite. However, the sneaky wanker chose the party. Since Dan is part of the football team, I expected him to take me to their usual thing - not that I know what that is, but I had an idea it’d be in some posh house in London. He’s into drama and all that jazz.īut I promised him I’d attend one party before the summer starts. ![]() ![]() Spoiler alert, don’t believe anything Dan says. Now, I’m not that much of a fun-ruiner, although my best friend Dan would say otherwise. Not to be dramatic, although I probably am, this place is like my worst nightmare wrapped in super-expensive watered down alcohol. Alcohol, drunk teenagers, and thumping music. ![]() |
