i'm an amnesick
i just finished reading a novel...MEMORIES OF AMNESIA... an old book with unique ideas... i calculated that it had been put in the library for nearly 18 years. the last person before me, was 12 years ago.....yeah 12 years ago.. dunno by what means i pick up this book instead of hundreds thousands of other interesting books there. i believe it is because of its title. i always mesmerized and taken by the title of a book. it always the titles. it always the title that trick me. i hate a writer that cannot put a good title for their good priceless masterpiece. & i also hate writers who put good title for their unworthy garbage.argh hahaha.....
okay...about this newly read novel (for me of course).... ..it is a truly worth the reading kind of book unless you hate science and crazy ideas.... it is about, Isaac Drogin, a neurosergeon who, while operating one morning, finds his own brain behaving erratically.; he forgets the names of his patients, feels an uncontrollable urge to laugh and contradicts himself from moment to moment. but he is a kind of excited with the damaging brain that he suffered with. trying to experimenting with the disease, chalengging his own brain... you don't understand? that is exactly what i feel throughout my reading. it baffled me..i suffered reading this books. it's language, style of writing, the story line, everything! make me even more confused when i read farther....huh..... i'm wondering, do they ( the english speaking people) talk like this in ordinary daily life?? oh my God, what i'm going to do when i reach australia?.. i'm not planning to be crazy so fast, not understant a single word will put me into a huge stress..... owkay... here are some example...just a little bit from that novel...
...one of the pleasure of brain damage is the way in which it interrupts the normative relationships between questions and answers, the freedom it grants one to ask questions without concern for answers, or to delight in answers for which no questions is apparent.......
....granted that an impulse to action had precede the action itself, but what had precede the impulse?.....
...granted something had moved me, but what was it? what was its source? what caused the movement that moved me to move?....
...one could not choose to be powerless because choice itself was power, choice itself was one's intention. could you choose to do what you didn't choose to do? maybe you'd think you didn't choose it, but by the time you did it, it was chosen. the moment you chose to do something, it was no longer what you didn't choose but what you did.....
i was bewildered by those kind of sentences. sometimes they appear as a paragraph instead of just a line of alien sentence. eventhough i try to read a few times, i still couldn't get the point. i give up and move to the next page. this is how i finally finish this novel. do that or i'll be punished for sending it back late to the library....
still i'm not give up trying to read more n more intresting books. prays to Allah the Most Knowing to guide me in picking up great books for mind and soul.
