It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves. So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them. This contains spoiler of course. Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born. The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....
When flight from Jakarta to Surabaya, I took a night flight. Flight maybe at 9 pm, was rain hard before flight, but luckily rain stops before take off. I remember, clearly, it was August 17th. Take off then I can see lots lights from above the sky hehe.. Look so beautiful, and look like some good combination of words. And one thing, there is a big big cloud, it look like borobudur temple. Really like a borobudur in the sky. Beautiful. I want to take a pic of it, but my phone low bat and cant activate phone on plane. So yeah... I just capture it with my eyes, and save it in my mind as one of good memories. Flight for an hour, then landing in surabaya then see my parents and home. When I see that borobudur above, I thank God. How great it look..
