The Notebook by Nicoholas Sparks
(The novel that opened my BOOKWORM WORLD)
First fiction novel that i've red and the very reason why reading becomes not just a hobby, but a habit, then led me into collecting not just Nicholas Sparks titles. That book was owned by my friend Ponyang who insist that i should read it and keep telling me that it was "good" "so romantic" "kakakilig" etc.. At first i was hesitant 'coz im not fond of reading. But still i give it a try and as i keep turning the pages i understand why it was a "must read" novel. It also had a film adaptation stars by Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdam, though i already know the story, watching it again and again still makes me cry. Now i have my own copy of the book and also started checking the list of SPARKS title's.

Here's some of my favorite quotes from the book:
“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..”
“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”
