a task of mine~

At last, I'd done with the novel I've been reading over a year,
~Angels and Demons~.
(I'd finished 2 novels in my summer breaks, quite remarkable for me~! XD )
I will say, exhilarating and adventurous, alike with the comments from others.
The part that differentiate me among all, 
is that I often fall asleep, or the book owned the hypnotic power,
I would probably walk into my dream not even finish a chapter of it.
That's why I spent more than a year to finish this novel.
The incredibly complicated, tons of unseen vocabulary that appear in every chapter,
troubled me, a lot.
I'd been busying with the dictionary, checking those words.
If I've spent an hour in reading the novel,
70% of the time I'm ducked in the dictionary.
Pathetic.I felt bad.Really bad.At that time.


When I further engaged in the story,
trying to drown myself in it,
and possibly used to those unseen vocabulary and compromised with it,
I could read the novel, with less difficulty.
They came to me, slowly but clearly. 
I could understand the sentence, and sometimes even the chapter,
without checking the unseen words.
Guessing done the job,
and I could interpret the word, through some implications.


Now, I'd finally finished the novel,
and have learnt tons of vocabulary that newly introduced to me.
Those are the gifts for me, through the novel.
May be I should do more reading on novel,
improve my vocabs as well as my grammars that really sucks. XD
I love learning it, and I do hope I will attain expert level one day in future.
Of course, speaking fluently is also one of my aim now~!
(I mean British English, in this case.) =)


Gotta take some rest,
which mean engage myself in a more 'relax-based' novel,
contained less vocabs,
in order to help me regain my spiritual and mentality 'energy',
after being deprived by the previous novel.
After this, I shall continue with another Dan Brown's product,
~The Da Vinci Code~.

I will read this again~! I promise~!



Great story!!
First reading just gave me a general storyline of this novel.
To 'touch' the inner spirit of the story,
I'll have to read for twice, thrice or even more~!
