I've always liked to go to a bookstore and searched randomly for books. I like the word serendipity and I like the idea of it. This time while I had some time in the shopping mall, I went to a bookstore and I bought this book - Last Stories, a compilation of short stories by William Trevor. I instantly bought it when I saw the discounted price, at almost 80% off the original price.
New book always creates a spark in me, a spark to read more. I got this feeling whenever I purchase a new book. And then I realize that last year I hadn't read much at all, which is sad. In some way, short stories is good to kick start again the reading habit as it requires lower commitment.
The thing is I don't know much the book, nor the author William Trevor. So far I just read the very first story - The Piano Teacher's Pupil. It is a melancholic one, which is just the way I like. I've got a feeling that it is going to be a good read.
