The Namesake

Some nights ago I finished reading a novel by Jhumpa Lahiri named "the Namesake". This is her fifth book and first novel printed in 2003 and is about an Indian man who has the name of a Russian author, Gogol, and is mistaken so decided to change his name and ...
I'd read some other books of Jhumpa Lahiri and each time I read a book I find how much similarities are in Indian and Iranian cultures.

Mergan

I've finished reading a book by Mahmood Dolatabadi called "The Empty Place of Soluch".

It's a novel happened about 50 years ago in a poor village of Iran and story starts with departure of Soluch as the man of his family and apparently finished by his arrival.

During this trip which takes about 1 year, his family faced lots of problems and Mergan, as the main character of the story, tried to solve them. She is an ordinary woman with natural potentials but there is something in her soul which pushes her forward, she MUST be there for helping others. I think she is a very good symbol of all women, working hard with no expectation of reward, giving all her properties for making her beloved happy and thinking between all disasters.

I lived with Mergan in that poor country and felt her problems. Dolatabadi is one of the best; he is a magician who can make you live 50 years ago. He feels women...

 

Gabriel José García Márquez

Today I read a nice sentence by Gabriel José García Márquez . I've some books of him and advice you to have a look to. Here it is:
Nobody will remember you if you keep your thoghts secret. Force yourself to express them.

Book

"Letter To A Child Never Born" by Oriana Fallaci was finished last night. It was a dialogue between an expected mother and her fetus, she is not sure about carrying him or letting him die....
It was good but not perfect and some sentences noble: Optimists are brave. A little reality is better than probable much in future. ( Thank you KhaleSanaz for the hints.)
I found something after the book. Feelings of a mother who have been informed of her pregnancy is same as others, a complexion of hope, happiness, fear, worriness, changes of future plans, ... but the way that mother guides her feelings is unique and it's the point of having different destinies for millions of fetus.

P.S. This is my 800th post. Such a long time of being here...
