A mighty heart


Usually, when I read a book, it takes me rather long to finish it (as many of my friends can attest to that). However, I decided to checkout this book called A Mighty Heart. It was written by Marianne Pearl and details the ordeal she went through in Karachi after finding out her husband, Daniel Pearl was kidnapped by terrorists. The book has also been made into a movie starring Angelina Jolie as Marianne Pearl. Eventhough I'm not a big fan of Angelina's screen credits, I heard she pulls an Oscar-worthy performance.

Eventhough I only touched the first 15 pages of the book, I am hooked, sucked in. It's one of those books that...once you start, you must finish it. I was so tempted to finish the book but the weekend gatherings took precedence. So, I have promised myself to finish reading this book by the end of this week. and give it a short review. Oh, that also includes watching the movie.

Recently, been listening to the country stylings of Taylor Swift. For a 17-year old, she is one heck of a talent. Checkout her sad, soppy tale of "Teardrops on my Guitar".
