i was at the library yesterday searching for pamy's recommendation of jodi picoult's my sister's keeper. i didn't manage to find it, but i stumbled across another of jodi picoult's treasure, plain truth.
it's about an Amish (Protestant people who seek to maintain the simple way of life based on the Bible) girl being charged with murder of her newborn, whom she denied having or killing him despite the medical proof that she was pregnant. and so, an unwilling attorney takes on the job to defend the unwilling girl, and learns more about her client and herself as the real truth begins to unravel. duty, faith, love, humility, truth and tradition. definitely a double-thumbs-up!

and now i'm not able to keep my eyes and hands of the novel. i'm close to the end. as always i read through books fast, and then will regret later for not taking my time to taking it in slowly.
i suppose the plain truth of reading is to really feel and understand. check out new words in the dictionary. imagine the scenes of each detail. ah, so now i know why my reading is an error..
