"In my schoolboy reveries, we were always two fugitives riding on the spine of a book, eager to escape into worlds of fiction and secondhand dreams."

The next novel I am picking up has me extremely excited. It's called The Shadow of the Wind: A Novel, written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and released in 2001. Now, I've been waiting for the time to come when I would get around to reading this book for the second time. A few years back, someone I know who works at my local bookshop recommended that I try it out. I absolutely loved the book, and it has been the top book that I recommend to people I know whenever I get the chance.

Today I started getting into the novel again. I must say, after reading the first 30 pages, I have a feeling that by the time I get through this one for a second time, I'll be able to officially declare it as my all-time favorite book, thus far. I can only hope that I enjoy it more than I did the first time around.

I'll probably post up a review of The Shadow of the Wind once I finish it. Until then!
