Faking It

When I stared at my TBR (half collapsing) book self, there were tough choices to make. Which ones will I pick for this 'trip'? Which ones will give me comfort for the first couple of months at least? Which ones will help me take the pressure off? Which ones will take me to another world?

It was a naturally choice to start with Peter Carey's My Life As A Fake to begin my journey with. It is Peter Carey after all, you can't go wrong. The Frankenstein inspired storyline, set both in Kuala Lumpur (the city I'm leaving) and Melbourne (the city I shall be calling my new home) is apt for my transition, I thought.

It has thus far gave me a peace of mind through two chilly sleepness nights.

A new life beckons nevertheless. I need to get on with it.

Books, my loves, can only do so much.
