"It takes a while for our eyes to become accustomed to the gloom, but if we concentrate it becomes apparent that a light still flickers, if only fitfully, from the chink in a darkened hallway, a remnant from the explosion of a distanr star that carrie messages from a vanished time."

"We all love to take responsibility for success and happiness. Hell, we often fight over who gets to be responsible for success and happiness. But taking responsibility for our problems is far more important, because that's where the real learning comes from. That's where the real-life improvement comes from. To simply blame others is only to hurt yourself." Totally hooked with this book!

"Technology has solved old economic problems by giving us new psychological problems. The internet has not just open-sourced information; it has also open-sourced insecurity, self-doubt and shame." This is just spot on.

Onto the Prologue.."The Medicine Bag." Let the new journey begin.

Never thought it'd be over tonight. The last chapter, Leaving the Shadowlands, was by far, the hardest and the most challenging part to read. When you had to battle with emotions, continually wipe your tears because it feels like you're really saying goodbye to such a great person. I never knew I'd have this kind of reading experience.

You know a book is that good, when all of a sudden, you find yourself crying because of overwhelming joy brought by meeting a very special and genuine person from the past. His stories live on and it's indeed never too late to get to know him more.

"Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste of which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden)."- CS Lewis

Slowly getting back on track after months of hiatus. Reading about the life of CS Lewis is such a wonderful privilege! I'd never miss this!

It's been a while since I started to read this. Glad to know I'm back!

'Tis indeed.

"I'd like to be Irish when it's time for a song or a poem. I'd like to be Irish-American or American-Irish though I know I can't be two things even if Scott Fitzgerald said the sign of intelligence is the ability to carry opposed thoughts at the same time."

"No, son. I don't have time for fighting back. I won't step on their ground. I pick my own fights."

Such a slow reader these days. Got to keep goin' though. And this book is definitely a great read! So far so good! :)

"But that's the way the world is, he said, and a ship lasts no longer than a whore's moan."- now that's how you use a metaphor.
