Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition

Two guesses what makes the Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition different from the well-loved Nokia 6700 classic. And no, it isn't the included natural leather carrying case and strap or the 8GB microSD card. And no, it isn't the included natural leather carrying case and strap or the 8GB microSD card.

Inspiration: {Lovely, lovely books}

{This post actually has a purpose. I am about to share a bit of my day. Ready? Despite today being a cold rainy day, deplete of sunshine, I was actually feeling optimistic and I had an objective... to find a good book to read. The thing is I rarely read any more. Instead, I "treat" myself to reading two or three books during annual beach vacations. So I asked myself, why am I depriving myself of something I love and enjoy doing, even as a young girl...

 ...so off I went to the local goodwill store close to my workplace during my lunch hour. It isn't that I cannot afford to buy new books from a bookstore, I simply like the idea of recycling books and the money spent at goodwill goes to support people in need in the community...

...incredibly, I found four amazing books. They are: "Red Dust" by Gillian Slovo; "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry; "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers and the one I am most looking forward to reading... "L'histoire de Pi" (The Life of Pi) by Yann Martel. I have never read "The Life of Pi" and when I saw the french translation of it, I had to purchase it...

...the images of this post are meant to convey my story... image 1) optimism, which I felt today as I set out to fulfill my objective; image 2) pleasure of curling up in a comfortable chair to read and image 3) an imagery analogy of where I hope these books will transport me to, foreign and exotic places.   Have a nice evening, as for me, I'm off to begin reading one of my books!

"Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart." ~ Salman Rushdie.}
