When you find out you will die, that’s when you decide to live.

It wasn’t until she decided to die, that Veronika found a reason to live.

It’s Saturday and again I decided to take the afternoon off so I went to the city, met up with Tim and we went malling. He had to buy something at National Bookstore for his sister’s wedding so I went with him. While he was looking for whatever it was he wanted, I went to the bestseller’s section and looked over the books that I haven’t read yet. And Paulo Coelho’s Veronika Decides To Die caught my eye. I have heard of this book many times before but I haven’t got the chance to read it. So after a little thinking I decided to buy a copy for myself.

After reading the first chapter, I decided that I love this book already. Paulo Coelho is such a great writer. I’ll continue reading and I’ll put the things I’ve learned here later on. And also the things that needs to be off my mind.

I browsed the internet and I learned that there’s a movie  still in production process based on this book. Sarah Michelle Gellar will star as Veronika. It’s going to be out in 2009.

Veronika is 24 and she decides to die?  She has everything but she decided to die? Why?

That’s what I’m going to found out.
