Hi, really prolific day for me today. And before I begin on this post here dedicated to "Le Petit Prince" which is one of the ten books I ever read in my life (please don't shoot or hate me, I just find it very long to go on reading). So yeah I may have read only 6 or 10 books in my life, but please don't judge me.
So, "Le Petit Prince" being a best - seller of best - sellers, there won't be lots of new stuff I'll be able to tell you guys about this book down here. Only that it is one of those books that gets you thinking straight from the word go.
And when I say "thinking", I mean real thinking as in thinking about global issues (well at least it happened to me). Was advised to read this book by a very close friend of mine who was sick and tired of me ever moaning about how books are so boring to read that it'll be much easier and convenient to get access to all this information via video or in a more summarized way. In short what I was trying to say doing all this moaning was that I prefer real concise information rather than a whole slab of it. Something that you get when you read a really big novel. Some may say that I am narrow - minded in my way of thinking, or in the way I perceive the intake of new information, but fact remains fact. So getting all that my friend Julia said, "Maybe you should think about reading "Le Petit Prince"? ". Saying that it was clear, concise and was written by one of the greatest authors out there "Antoine de Saint - Exupery". A guy who looked something like that.
So I got lured into reading this book and didn't regret the very bit of it. The fact is that it is really written in such a way that I think even a monkey would be able to give it a go. And the topics and issues being discussed in it are really awesome as well. You get everything from the way people lose their childhood when they become adults, right up to the relation which we have to law, spirituality, money, logic and so on. And when you get the point that this is a childish book with illustrations you remain speechless in front of this brilliance and talent. So, if you haven't read this yet, I guess you know what I' ll tell you now. Read it!!!
when i was little, i read this book but didn't anderstand the philosophical meaning of events and aphorisms, i just was in love with Little Prince's infantile mind and he was my idol. i reread it not so long ago- it amazed me! this was really strange- to tell the truth the book hasn't got holistic plot, it was foggy. but i notice that my life is written in this book, my intimate thoughts. Antoine was a psychologist who turned private ideas of each of us into a book.

Hello Mint Virginia, great having a reaction to Le Petit Prince. And even better to see that we have almost the same thoughts on the book;-) Indeed, I also didn't get the philosophy behind the book from first reading. But when it. Came to me, I was so caught up in the deepness of thought that...
