have read: seabiscuit


this is a story of the most popular personality in 1938 which turns out to be a horse. haha. but anyway, this is a very good book, engrossing. it transports you to the era of the 1930s and the world of jockeys, and really rich men who own horses and horses and horses. maganda yung pagsulat about the personalities whose lives were entangled because of seabiscuit. the owner and the jockey and the doctor. nalungkot lang ako for the jockey kasi wala he died poor eh parang sobra rin naman siyang nagwork hard. plus maybe the fact that he lived too long din unlike the others na nagkaroon pa ngmonument and all. when i read this, feeling ko parang black beauty ang story, but no. its really about the people and the politics and all the other things din, aside from seabiscuit. well, eh kasi naman novel ang black beauty. but anyway, dito, parang larger than life si seabiscuit, which he probably was. so magaling ang author. naachieve niya yun. may line ako na namermorize dito, feeling ko magagmit sa pleading. parang, its too petty to be bothered by, but its to vicious to be overlooked.
