![]() ![]() ![]() Zevin was also interested in telling two coming-of-age stories: the coming-of-age of Sadie and Sam and the coming-of-age of the gaming industry, which some had once considered to be not worth any time or respect. Zevin also desired to tell the story of people who "create experiences out of the stories and things that consume." And the story of Sam and Sadie is certainly that. In Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Zevin aimed to further explore how gaming "is a kind of storytelling." Zevin herself is an avid gamer and wanted to reflect her passion in the novel. But their success is undermined by human emotion, betrayal, and gross overambition. The two initially pretend not to see each other, but they eventually form a bond and partnership which will catapult both of them into superstardom. One day, Sam meets a girl on the platform of a subway called Sadie Green. Over the course of thirty years and across multiple states, the novel follows Sam Masur, a junior at the prestigious Harvard University. Written by people who wish to remain anonymousįew books have a title as unique as Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.

Not to mention, critical praise decorated the cover and the beginning inside pages of 1Q84, assuring me that experts of literature had a fulfilling experience with the novel, and I certainly would too. I devoured The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and yearned for more, and the prospect of 1157 more pages seemed absolutely delightful. ![]() I was enchanted by Murakami’s elegant prose.

If a book exceeds that limit, it takes a little more procrastination and a lot more hemming and hawing over whether the novel is worth the effort. 800 pages is my mental limit for carelessly picking up a book and diving in. ![]() ![]() Helen Hunt Jackson was one of the most popular women writers of her day. ![]() More than just a love story, it is a tale who’s message is as important today as it was when the novel first hit the public stage. Woven into the romance of “Ramona” is a glimpse of the tragic history of Southern California’s native peoples. It became an instant best seller, and, as “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” had a generation earlier, not only changed the way people looked at the world outside their own comfort zone, it gave the average citizen a look into a culture they had previously only heard rumor of. The sheer gravity of its message could not be ignored. When Helen Hunt Jackson’s novel “Ramona” was first published in 1884, it was hurled against the public mindset like an ocean wave against a row boat. ![]() Like Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights, and even a more modern fable like The Great Gatsby, “Ramona” has planted itself in our cultural consciousness in a very unique way. The tragic tale of Ramona and her lover Alessandro is just such a story. Every century or so, a story will emerge that carries so much social and emotional importance it becomes first a classic, and then… iconic. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only thing they have in common is the speaker’s self-absorption and apathy to others’ suffering.

Not many commercial films dare to open with a static 25-minute monologue but the air of suspense and ingenuity of the dramatic reversals keep one transfixed.
