I just read one of the best books of my life. No words can truly express the magnitude and appreciation that I have for this piece of literature. I was curious to see how the story ends, and now that I have, my days are a bit empty. I want to go back to a time when I still had more chapters to read. Closing the book was like losing something. The end of a friendship before you are ready to part ways. I want it back in my life. I want it as part of my day-to-day again.

And, while I was away, I didn’t stop reading. Which means I have a few book reviews to come. Today, I’m focusing on classic sci-fi. No, it’s not Dune. I’m still making my way through that one at turtle speed. It’s 2001 Space Odyssey and 2010 Space Odyssey 2. While this was my second time reading 2001, I never got to write a review.
