Book || Urichindere : Dike-Ogu Chukwumerije

So I was going through my drafts and found this post just sitting there wasting away, how shameful.

I can still remember reading this book like it was yesterday. I was immediately drawn in by the tone with which it was written and I knew I was in for a humorous yet good read. Just like my first post on a book, this also isn’t a book review. I’m just going to share a few quotes that resonated with me.
      Here goes :

-There is nothing in the past, except doctored memories. There is nothing in the grass, except a decaying body. Whatever sweets you are looking for, you will find them in front of you. And the sooner you move on, the quicker you”ll find them

– But, you see, the fact that someone has a lot of muscles and is always lifting weights and kicking palm trees does not, necessarily mean that you can’t beat him in a wrestling match

– You cannot unlove once you have truly Loved. It is true.

– You see, there are always signs, because the whole world is connected. The whole world is one. The trees that grip the earth with their roots also touch the skies with their leaves

– Yes. Sometimes, friendship is better than love , because love is what people want but friendship is what they need.

– Everyone must find the light by themselves. Alone

– Can you see how life is? It turns on the same axis, giving life and death, tears and laughter, joy and sorrow. You can never tell. That is why you must always reach for everything, because you could end up with anything

That first quote is everything! No matter how much growth I think i’ve made, every now and then I still catch myself staring lustfully at the past but then I have to remind myself that there’s nothing there for me anymore.

I did a quick Google check on the author and found out that he has a blog, he has four actually but its just this one i can relate with.

I haven’t been reading books which aren’t medical books recently and that sucks major. I’m hoping to change that and books by African authors have been so appealing recently unfortunately they don’t come as PDF files or do they? (Hook a sista up biko). It doesn’t help that i follow some book lovers on instagram and they stay opressing me. lol

I also want fashion books and poetry books. My friend lent me the sartorialist’s street style book sometime last year. Amazing!
