In Sydney, a man in his forties who had come alone and who waited until the queue was nearly empty before approaching said that his wife had given him the book after he had been made redundant and had been unable to make himself apply for another position for eight months, and that he had read it and had applied the following week. "I know it's about different things," he said. "But it's about starting again. That's the same thing." She signed his book an

"The personal record was about the journey. This is about the arriving." He looked at the pages again. "The chapter about ordinary Tuesday mornings," he said. "The specific quality of the work when it is running correctly and the people are right and the day has the texture of a day that knows what it's doing." He paused. "I read that and I thought: this is what I would have wanted to know when I was at my worst. Not how to fix it. That it was possible to have this." "That is what the book is for," she said.

It was just coffee after a bookshop. That was what the micro-consistency looked like from the inside. It looked like the most ordinary Saturday afternoon. It was the most ordinary Saturday afternoon. Two people in a bookshop and then coffee. Nothing significant about any of it except that it was all significant. Every unremarkable minute of it. He was there.

He was a strange, mysterious man. Soon, dinner was ready. But when she looked at the food, there was a trace of embarrassment on her face. She'd only made enough for her and her daughter. Still, she said to the little girl, "Go invite him to come eat." The girl walked over and was instantly distracted by the book in Joseph's hands. She tried to get a better look, but she realized she couldn't understand a single word. So, she asked, "What's that book about?"

Maybe this is really just a dream? “Wah! It’s a large rock?” After a few minutes, I finally found something that isn’t a cloud. I quickly climb the large rock and when I reached there is an old man sitting on top of it and was eating a bowl of ramen? “WHO IS THIS MAN? Am I dreaming about an old man? Why? Or maybe he’s some kind of a deity perhaps? Maybe I am really in heaven?” The old man then quickly looked at me surprised, he quickly finished his food and clean his face.

On top of those big roses is an envelope with a long handwritten note that goes: “My Dear Cela, Congratulations on the success of your work. You deserve nothing but blessings, more love, and praises. I wish I also have the privilege to say that I’m proud of you like your loved ones have, but I’m simply an adoring fan of you as a person and your works. I read your last book and I was happy with it. If it’s true that the characters were based on us, then I was content that our characters did not end up together. I loved how you made a lovable character out of me. Thank you for immortalizing someone like me who for the longest time has never felt special in his life. Our journeys may have t

"Yes, manager." The gentle male voice was so close to her side that she could hear it extraordinarily clearly. "Snap." The book in her hand instantly fell to the ground. But without paying attention to the falling book, she dully looked back behind her. She noticed a few folks in plain suits flanking a man who appeared noble and elegant as he walked towards this side while discussing business.

As my eyes move over the sea of people, they are drawn to the end of my walk. I see an older man. A man around his seventies and I suddenly feel groggy and uneasy. His hair is white, his face is full of wrinkles, and he looks nothing like a rich man. He looks like a damn ordinary man who likes to work out in the sun and takes pleasure into the littlest things. My first thought is that I am not going to allow him anywhere near me! He was old enough to make me think he’d not have much energy to even get close to me either, so maybe -

Butt naked? I sink to my knees beside the crate and pick up the top book, a small white-covered paperback with a surreal picture of a sun with a human face on it. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men. The pages are sepia and brittle as fall leaves. I’ve never heard of it.

Not knowing why he suddenly opened a drawer and kept that photo fame inside that drawer and closed the drawer, Soon a man entered inside and gave something to that young man. “ Sir they went to the hillside “ that man report to that young man, That young clenched his fist and took a deep breath, he was a calm minded person, that’s why nobody could ever find that a man like him could be so dangerous, That’s why it says don’t judge a book by its cover because no matter how much it looks outside you can’t know about the whole book without what is inside.
