我的快樂 會回來的

Two books in a week

I have been reading Lee Child's Killing Floor and Agatha Christie's Cat among pigeons. Killing Floor is about murder and counterfeiting money. It is fast paced. It is brutal. It is also tender and loving in some ways. Reading this story is like peeling an onion. The people who wants to get out of the counterfeiting scheme are killed, and the people who wants to expose the scheme are also killed. You can also sense that the main character's loneliness.
Agatha's Cat among the pigeons follows her formula of detective story. Murder takes place in an innocent girl's school. Police and the F.O. investigate with no conclusion, Poirot comes in and sits down to solve the problem. The good part is in the beginning with the middle eastern flavour. The teenage girl's life is also portrayed vividly.
I have applied for two more jobs. Just have to wait patiently for the results now. I have also received the tickets for graduation yesterday. I am content and happy about the upcoming graduation. I have worked very hard on the thesis. This graduation ceremony will be a good finishing note.
