Cloud Atlas
Monday, January 4, 2010I believe that stuff happens as it’s meant to, when it’s meant to.
(If you let it.)
Even small stuff.
For the last couple of years, I have walked into bookshops and often been drawn to a Particular Book. But for some reason, I have resisted it, every time. I have walked around it, looked at other stuff, picked up different titles and eventually left, either with nothing or with some other Top Read.
Then last week: one of my favourite shops. delicious second.hand.book.smell. My Book on the shelf. picked it up. took it to the counter. paid. and left.
Just like that.
And now I am drenched in it. Soaking it up. Thinking about it when I’m not with it. Crazy!
I am sure that there is a reason why this book chose me. (Now). I just haven’t figured it out yet.
