Love Stroy- The Bible of Love


I am on a reading spree, nowadays. Three novels in a row, in past 15 days. It may not sound impressive, voracious veterans of reading as all of you are, but quite an achievement for this poor soul, as I have found again my long lost love for books.
Well, I could not resist the temptation of sharing my feeling with other book loving creatures, as I have just finished reading this small but wonderful novel; written by Erich Segal; Love Story.
What a beautiful love story it is or what a beautiful experience, one should say, dwelling through the lives of Oliver and Jenny; enjoying the hilarious campus days, falling in love, facing the stark realities of life; you definitely end up feeling like an unwritten Segal character. In the end, after Jenny’s death, when Oliver tells his shock-stunned father, ‘Love means never having to say you are sorry’, one feels like having a lump stuck in the throat, the mind clogs. The novel is definitely a must-read, especially for a person who has ever been in love before.
