Hello, Wednesday! Hello, you!
I remember that it’s been a while that I take a note on this book. It was Josie who introduced me to it, not exactly her -because she’s just a fictional character that lead the story in Out of The Easy by Ruta Sepetys. This book was mentioned in the beginning part when a man (later a victim of murder) came to the bookstore where Josie work. Are you curious enough to know what exactly is the book I’m talking about? Well, here we go.
David Copperfield is the story of a young man’s adventures on his journey from an unhappy & impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora; and the magnificently impecunious Micawber, one of literature’s great comic creations.
In David Copperfield—the novel he described as his “favorite child”—Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of his most exuberant & enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy & comedy in equal measure.
It was so like me to note some titles that comes from the novel I’m currently reading, taking a note that I will look into that title(s) later just to know what is it about. Like when I’m noting The General in His Labyrinth when I read Looking for Alaska and reading it the next time I have a copy of that title. And in this case, David Copperfield by Charled Dickes, I’ll make sure to have it tuck in my bookshelf and hope that it’ll come to me soon.
That’s my wish for this week, do you have one?

The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I’d seen only in Gideon’s stories: 
At the end of World War II, Jack Baker, a landlocked Kansas boy, is suddenly uprooted after his mother’s death and placed in a boy’s boarding school in Maine. There, Jack encounters Early Auden, the strangest of boys, who reads the number pi as a story and collects clippings about the sightings of a great black bear in the nearby mountains.
Saudara, saya Soekram, tokoh sebuah cerita yang ditulis oleh seorang pengarang. Ia seenaknya saja memberi saya nama Soekram, yang konon berasal dari bahasa asing yang artinya— ah, saya lupa. Tapi sudahlah. Apa pun nama saya, saya harus menerimanya, bukan? Pengarang itu sudah payah sekali kesehatannya, kalau tiba-tiba ia mati, dan cerita tentang saya belum selesai, bagaimana nasib saya—yang menjadi tokoh utama ceritanya? Saya tidak bisa ditinggalkannya begitu saja, bukan? Saya mohon Saudara berbuat sesuatu. Trilogi Soekram karya Sapardi Djoko Damono berkisah tentang tokoh.
