Finally completed...

Ok, so i haven't been blogging for while now. It's not that i'm lazy to write but i have been reading this book called 'The 47th Samurai' written by Stephen Hunter and i really dig the story. Ok, if you're wondering what made me not blog for days, here is a glimpse of it.


How i found out about the book? Ok my bro came home one day with this book in his hand. I thought well, if my bro is reading it, the story must be something cos i never see my bro reading a novel once in my life. So, one day i saw the book lying around and started to read and it got me hooked and i just wanted to finish it. So i kept reading and reading....until finally today, i finished reading it and GODDAMN i love the book even more.

Ok the story goes like this, this Japanese guy, Philip Yano, went to America to recover a sword his father wielded in the battle of Iwo Jima back in 1945. As Americans take swords and whatnot from the Japanese as a token of their victory, he traced the sword to this guy, the protagonist, Bob Lee Swagger who was the son of the American who apparently was the one who "killed" his father in Iwo Jima . So this Bob Lee Swagger went through all extremes trying to find this sword that he never knew he had and personally went to Japan to return it to its rightful owner as he thought that it would only be right for him to return the sword to the family of whom it belongs to. Ok, here is where the plot thickens. Unknown to both Philip and Earl, the sword was actually a legendary sword that goes way back to the 1500s in the time of the Samurais and was found to be of a great cultural value - basically a sword that people would kill for.....

I would love to finish the story but u guys have to find out for yourselves. Get the book and read it. It's a good book to read. Plus it has a taste of Japanese culture in it - whether true or not still provides an interesting touch to the ever so thrilling plot. So yeah get the book, read it, and u can thank me lator on for introducing this book to u. Plus my favourite quote from the book, "Steel cuts flesh / steel cuts bone / steel does not cut steel ". haha....love that quote.

oh yeah, one more thing. U know the movie 'Shooter'? It's inspired from a book Stephen Hunter wrote called 'Point of Impact'. So if u like the movie, i think his books will do u good. Anyways, i'm glad i'm done with the book so now i can start studying for my Semestral Exams. Anyways, a new journey starts tommorow i guess, a life filled with equations, thoeries to memorize as well as tonnes of past year papers. So adios amigos. I hope i have the strength and courage to pull me through this obstacle. I know i will for I-AM-SAMURAI! HAI!
