Reading
"Every problem has a solution. But there's no guarantee that the solution will be found immediately. The same holds true in our lives. We encounter several problems to which the solutions are not immediately apparent in life. There is value to be had in worrying about those problems when you get to them. But never feel rushed. Often, in order to find the answer, you need time to grow first. That's why we apply ourselves, and learn as we go." - Yukawa Manabu, A Midsummer's Equation (Higashino Keigo)
Finished the book this morning. What is sleep anyway? I like this quote so I'm sharing it here. I think the book was okay. It's just like when I watched the movie... if I remember correctly. It's a different story but man, I'm really amazed by Tsutsumi Shinichi's acting in the "Suspect X" movie (haven't read the book though!). It haunts me. I still don't have the courage to watch the Chinese version (directed by Alec Su btw) because I don't want to compare. What I want to say is, I don't remember much from the "Midsummer's" movie which I think meant it's quite... forgettable? I guess there wasn't anyone that gave the same impact with Tsutsumi's performance.
I don't usually have strong reactions towards other adaptations. So far, I can recall two that I find displeasing (displeasing pfft) - The Korean version of HanaDan (BIG NO from me; I actually watched it until the end years ago) and Jane Eyre 2011 movie (can't finish it; the impression of the 2006 version is too strong for me). Shut up stans, this is my blog! Yeah not going to elaborate on that - let's just say that I'm not a fan of their acting.
And... oh... erm.. I can talk about what I'm reading after "Midsummer's" but I'll wait until I'm one or two chapters in.. *whispers* I'm afraid that it will jinx my reading progress. I'm so afraid of falling back into a reading slump. I'm capable of ignoring the books I'm reading for months (& years!).
