After a long exhausting period of work, work and more work, calling it quits and heading back in the unemployment line, I have finally retreated to what I love most: read.

To start the momentum of blogging rolling back on track, here's a short yet impactful quote from Charles Dickens, in Great Expectations, that was found in the first page of David Nicholls One Day (my latest novel obsession):

'That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it and think how different its course would have been. Pause, you who read this, and think for a long moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on that memorable day.'

P.S. I can't wait to catch the movie (starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess!)
