The Best Bestseller I Have Ever Read

I feel silly telling people that this is the best Bestseller I have ever read....because I'm only at chapter 67.

Waaa, 67 already you think? Haha, the last chapter in this book is chapter no 233...they are all in prime numbers la.

If you already know which bestseller I'm referring to, then this is truly a bestseller by word of mouth.

I'm talking about Mark Haddon's [The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Midnight]. I won't attempt to tell you why I think this is the best I ever read because you just have to check it out yourself. It's only 226 page long...and you can't stop once you start (I'm just stopping to blog and tell you about it).

Read it for its totally refreshing and revolutionary style of writing.
Read it for its thought-stimulating insights.
Read it for entertainment.

Excerpts of the day:

"Mrs Forbes at school said that when Mother died she had gone to heaven...

Mrs Peters's husband is a vicar called the Reverend Peters....I asked him where heaven was and he said, 'It's not in our universe. It's another kind of place altogether.'

...I said there wasn't anything outside the universe and there wasn't another kind of place altogether. Except that there might be if you went through a black hole, but a black hole is called a singularity, which means it is impossible to find out what is on the other side because the gravity of a black hole is so big that even electromagnetic waves like light can't get out of it, and electromagnetic waves are how we get information about things which are far away. And if heaven was on the other side of a black hole, dead people would have to be fired into space on rockets to get there, and they aren't or people would notice.

...I think people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don't like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish.

...What actually happens when you die is that your brain stops working and your body rots, like Rabbit did when he died and we buried him in the earth at the bottom of the garden. And all his molecules were broken down into other molecules and they went into earth and were eaten by worms and went into the plants and if we go and dig in the same place in 10 years there will be nothing except his skeleton left. And in 1,000 years even his skeleton will be gone. But that is all right because he is a part of the flowers and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now."

That's it for now. Trust the doctor, this is a good book.
