We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Of Mice and MenOf Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh my! I had forgotten what American literature does to you! It's been at least two years since I read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Breakfast at Tiffany's,Franny and Zooey among others. Of Mice and Men is a reminder of what a delight the American Literature from the early decades of 1900s was like.

There's not much I have to say about this book except that very rarely do you find a book that is so beautiful and so heartbreaking! It reminds you, that sometimes, being a good friend doesn't just mean sticking around but also ending your friend's misery even if it breaks your heart.

A perfect read on a quiet, well-lit summer Sunday. I docked off one star because it totally broke my heart but other than that, this has to be one of those beautiful, I'll-remember-till-I-die kind of books that will always be on my favourites-shelf!
