Reading Challenge/失落的符號

寒假就是要複習好看的小說和好吃的丼飯。

Reading Challenge/ The Longest Ride

A book set somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit.

嚴格來說，The Longest Ride不是2015年讀的書，但是因為是在英國機場買的，對他有種特殊的情感，當然要當作reading challenge的第一本書。

That's Christmas To Me

I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon
The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

Impossible

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know...

The Hanging Tree

Are you, Are you

Coming to the tree

Where they strung up a man they say murdered three

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be

If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, Are you

Coming to the tree

Where the dead man called out for his love to flee

Strange things did happen here

No stranger would it be

If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree

Fifteen

秋末，在台中仍可以穿著短袖短褲的十一月底。

為了讓地下室有更多空間，丟掉了從小一用到高中的書桌。不得不驚訝於我收集東西的超能力，十年前國小回條、十年前的喜帖、十年前的信件，真難以想像這些東西都是a decade以前的，都這樣無缺的收在四格抽屜裡。

Four

Somehow it becomes a deep sad story. Maybe that's why I love Four better than Divergent. It's about the past. It allows me to learn more about the character. The complexity and mystery and loneliness are what make him real.

About Four, he has no one to trust. Not his father, not his former faction, not his new faction. And he learns this in a hard way, from Amar’s death. And unlike Tris, he learns this alone. I love his solitude and the way he fights through all these wonders.
