Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz

We can always see "Peanuts" in newspaper comic strip, on T-shirts, merchandises, etc. it's very likable. Well, I myself owned a couple of snoopy merchandises too. Initially, I didn't even know that the name of the comic is "Peanuts". To me, it was always "Snoopy". I only found out the name of the comic when I joined a treasure hunt two or three years ago. One of the tasks was to buy something, the clue contained snoopy and a brand of food item. Although my team got the brand right, we bought the wrong nuts. Hahaha, that's when I finally learnt the actual name of the comic, "Peanuts"!

I bought two comic books lately, both peanuts. While I like "The master chef", I can't relate to "The music lover" and I didn't find it funny. Maybe I am not gifted at all at the music department, lol!

The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom

I still remember my first book from Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie. It was so captivating that I finished reading that book at one sitting. After that, I look forward to his books.

I didn't read "The Time Keeper" in one seating though, I read a few pages before I slept every night. Well, the story was simple, but it did make me think. In this story, it talks about the person who first measured time (Father Time) was being kept/held in a cave for thousands of year and forced to listen to all the pleas about time from earthlings all the time, he didn't age or grow weaker. He missed his family so much but he was stuck there until an old man (god?) appeared and requested him to find two person, one who wants too much time and one who wants too little and teach them what he has learned.

So, Father Time was released to the world and he learned everything from scratch, the alphabets, languages, knowledge, and he just stopped the time when he needed it, when he stopped the time, everything else froze and he took his time reading, gaining knowledge, etc, and he moved from one place to another until he reached the city where he sensed the two person, one who wants too little (a girl) and one who wants too much time (a dying cancer patient).
