Carried Away, by Alice Munro

In the dream, the explosion of sadness, so heavy. "This is not real!" I struggled to wake up, to the world of peace.

Finished the last story of the book. It made me sad. It is the memory that defines what we are. But what if it fades away.

Two nights before, I thought about the life and human intelligence. Probably it is not the real "life" or "intelligence". A stimulus, and an reaction, from the chemicals that make the body. Yes, made.

Go back to the book. Alice Munro is definitely a good "writer" -- the one who knows how to use words to express her. However, her topic is narrow, a perfect writer for housewives. But the book contains a couple of gems, like "Carried Away" and "The Albanian Virgin", which are much more complicated.

This is the first book I read from this library. Enjoy strolling to the library in the morning.
