My Current Read: The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer

Currently reading "The Confessions of Max Tivoli" by Andrew Sean Greer, and I'm loving it. :) Special thanks to Jaja for getting the book for me! Mind you, it's not available in National Bookstore, Fullybooked or Powerbooks. At one point, I was too desperate  that I almost purchased it in ebay and have it delivered to the Philippines. Thank God for bookworm friends who scavenge nice reads at Booksale. 

Let me share my fave paragraph so far:


(Page 14)


"I should explain this disguise of mine. It's no excuse to say that I pretend to be a boy of twelve simply because I look like one, but the fact is that I do. I am small and freckled and lonely; I have patches on my knickers and frogs in every pocket. Only a careful observer would notice that I have too many faded scars for a child of twelve, too mean a squint, and that I sometimes stroke my chin as if I'd worn a beard. But no one looks that closely, I know it seems hard to believe, but the world is wholly convinced that I am what I claim to be, and not merely because I'm so good an imitator after all these awful years."


This book has a remarkable resemblance to the movie entitled "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" starring Brad Pitt. I really enjoyed watching that movie.
