What I’m Reading-Wednesday: The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg
This is my first encounter with Elizabeth Berg and so far I find her work easy to read. I think I just found my next best friend.

This is a great place for reading-Thursday: A Wide Windowsill
I prefer reading somewhere that has a view (preferably a nice one that would encourage thinking) because having a view helps me ponder on something I just read. And what thing that gives you a view is more common than a window, right?
This photo shows the wide windowsill of a room in Fraser Corporate Residences in Guangdong, China where I stayed in during a business trip four years ago. I actually finished reading The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami during my seven-day stay there. And yes, I spent most of my reading time seated on that windowsill, surrounding myself with several fluffy pillows for added comfort.
From that windowsill, I had a view of a nearby street where I saw people and cars passed by. The view wasn’t extraordinary but the things and scenes I saw outside somehow kept my mind running.

What I’m reading-Wednesday: Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
This is my first Neil Gaiman book. It is a collection of 31 short stories and poems. I have read five titles so far and I’m already loving it! I especially find the poem “The Hidden Chamber” beautiful, and haunting (when I found out that it was based on the French folktale “Bluebeard”).

at age 4, we think mom knows everything; at 8, mom knows a lot; at 12, mom doesn’t really know everything; at 14, mom doesn’t know anything; at 16, mom doesn’t exist; at 18, she’s old fashioned; at 25, maybe mom does know about this; at 35, before we decide, let’s ask mom; at 45: i wonder what mom thinks about this; at 75: i wish i could ask mom.
*reblog this with a photo of/with your mom if you believe you have the best mom in the world.
