CLOV: I say to myself—sometimes, Clov, you must learn to suffer better than that if you want them to weary of punishing you—one day. I say to myself—sometimes, Clov, you must be better than that if you want them to let you go—one day. But I feel too old, and too far, to form new habits. Good, it'll never end, I'll never go. Then one day, suddenly, it ends, it changes, I don't understand, it dies, or it's me, I don't understand that either. I ask the words that remain—sleeping, waking, morning, evening. They have nothing to say. I open the door of the cell and go. I am so bowed I only see my feet, if I open my eyes, and between my legs a little trail of black dust. I say to myself that the earth is extinguished, though I never saw it lit. It's easy going. When I fall I'll weep for happiness.

4/5 Stars (%82/100) A beautiful story about a young half-Indian boy with some sci-fi elements. The story revolves around an Indian-Irish boy named Zits. Zits get into trouble all the time since he is orphaned. One day he meets a very wise white kid named Justice and decides to channel his anger, fear, violence, and all those hidden emotions into a shooting. At that moment he is transferred back in time. This happens five times in the story. All of these past memories teach him that violence is not always the answer. Even a lonely and angry Indian boy like him could find happiness. I LOVED the book. Alexie's humorous yet poetic language is very fun to read. The book is full of tragic events and even I find myself teary-eyed at some point. Definitely a beautiful book with great characters. You could finish it in one sitting like me.

"O sene Mekke'de kıtlık ve pahalılık oldu. Kureyş taifesi Ebu Talib'e gelip yağmur duasına çıkmasını rica eylediler. O da Fahr-i Alem'in elinden tuttu ve birlikte Harem-i Şerif'e gitti. Kabe duvarına dayanıp dua etti. Fahr-i Alem parmağını göğe doğru kaldırdığı gibi yağmur yağmağa başladı. Nitekim Cülhüme bin Urfuta o vakit Mekke'de bulunanlardan biri olup bu kıssayı şöyle anlatmıştır:-Bir sene Mekke'ye gittim. Kıtlık ve pahalılıktan dolayı Mekke ahalisinin hali yaman olduğundan aralarında müşavaere ettiler. Bazıları Lat ve Uzza denilen putlardan, bazıları Menat denilen puttan medet umalım, dedikleri sırada içlerinden bir ihtiyar kimse aranızda hala İbrahim(a.s) neslinden kimseler mevcut iken niçin başka sebep arıyorsunuz, deyince Kureyş eşrafı hemen kalkıp Ebu Talib'in yanına gittiler ve yağmur duasına çıkmasını niyaz ettiler. O da çıkıp Harem-i Şerif'e geldi. Arkasına Kabe duvarına verip duaya başladı. Yanında yüzü güneş gibi parlayan bir oğlancık var idi. Parmaklarıyla göğe işaret eyledi. Gökyüzünde bir parça bulut yok iken her taraftan bulutlar belirip, yağmurlar yağdı, seller aktı."

I wish we'd met under different circumstances and with different names. I wish I could wake up to your face every day. If there's a next life, let's meet there, okay?

4/5 Stars (%77/100) This was pretty good! If there is even the slightest hint of time travel in a book, you can count me in. That's why I wanted to read this one along with a nice review from one of my friends. The reason why it took me almost a month to finish this is the fact that I chose the audiobook version. It was good but mostly I
