Day 23 - A Picture of Your Favorite Book
Simple! My favorite book was written by a man named Arthur Golden. He went into a ten year period of writing, focusing only on this book : Memoirs of a Geisha. If you have not read this book, you need to. It is my all time favorite book for a number of reasons.
The plot line is good, it remains simple and does not lose the reader along the way. The descriptions are voluptuous. Never before in a book have I been so enthralled by the descriptions, it is like Golden has trapped you in his world, if only for a moment. The characters are relate able. It does not matter that they are Japanese or American, the reader is drawn to their stories. Lastly, this book is based on research of the Japanese geisha's. This book is a fascinating look into their world and the life that they lead.
So, if you have not read Memoirs of a Geisha here is what you need to do. Stroll to the nearest bus station, or sprint to the nearest mode of transportation that you have. Start the ignition and head to the library to rent this book. That is when the year "Golden" magic beings.
