My introduction to the world of books

~~~ 1:20AM ~~~
I got this book from a senior colleague at my previous workplace who reads a lot of book. I was never into the whole reading books stuff in my what 28 years of life; though i read a lot of manga (by lot i mean a LOT LOT) but the beauty of art with expression was always better in my head. Thus, the disinterest in books.

This book was so fucking good that i finished it in 2 sitting (but the two sittings were a week apart). The details in the book about everything staring from research to reject to hope to despair to tragedy to involuntary involvement to self reflection to meeting alien life to communication exchange to one of the best fictional friendships with their own set of hardships.

The movie was airing before i read the book; the reason i read the book was how my colleague explained the story to us during our break. i finished the book and went to watch the move as well which was an absolute masterpiece but painfully dumbed down since you cant fit everything in a 1.5 hr movie (i forgot how long it was).

Next I got a new book from the same colleague called "The Great Alone" as well a i personally bought my very first book "Red Queen".

I did 3D print grace made by rocky but i cant seen to find it. Will upload a picture once i find it.
