The Notebook
I remember picking up my first novel (ofcourse I had been forced to read ‘the Lion and Jewel’ by Wole Soyinka and ‘Time Changes Yesterday’ by some author I can’t remember for Literature Class) without any pressure.
I can’t even remember who recommended the book to me. The book was ‘The Notebook’ by Nicholas Sparks - if you hurry you could pick up a copy at amazon for 1p, not sure about delivery cost. Today I found that the novel has been made into a film and I can’t wait to see it. The preview trailer can be viewed at the official site. Apparently the film rights were sold when the book was released, at the latest we are talking 1997 here (fall of 1997 - the year I read a book - as you can see I am very proud of myself). I remember the story vaguely - someone was telling a story about love, something about how you always feel the need to go back to your first love no matter what. Anymore info would be classified as a spoiler. (This blog is obviously named after the book as you may have gathered).
