Books to Read

By: Kether (Ceviche sin Pescado)

Sometimes I imagine this trip to be a book that has already been written.
Right now I have only read the first few pages of the book and am only a couple chapters deep. I have that feeling where if I stare at the width of the book or the numbers of pages for too long, I wonder if I’ll ever make it through the whole story.

As I hold the book for longer, weigh it in my hands, and flip through the pages I realize that where my thumb marks my page is already an eighth of the way through the book. This is enough to feel confident about the story resting between my thumb and forefinger, and enough so that the likelihood of finishing the book is much greater than when I started.

Twists ahead have been foreshadowed and I know that if I pay attention to the details now, I won’t have to flip back later to figure out what I missed.
I’ve read too many pages to put the story away. The plot is enticing. The characters have not developed fully and I know there is so much more to learn, I have the chance, if I take the time to finish.

I’ll let you know how the plot develops.
