I had started and finished Stockett’s The Help in the middle of reading Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. Both books center around the lives of women. Anna Karenina is set in the late 19th century, while The Help depicts the life in the South during the civil rights movement in the US. Different centuries, different countries, one male writer, and one female writer. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UsefulOxymoron/~3/0LRPWX253u0/too-vain-to-cook.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Naïve Näyva)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UsefulOxymoron/~4/0LRPWX253u0" height="1" width="1"/>http://naivenayva.blogspot.com/2011/08/too-vain-to-cook.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5436480118661780399.post-3095128115566801196Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:26:00 +00002011-08-18T08:26:00.417-07:00Diri ini ingin bertanya, “Raya tahun ni, baju raya beli di Paris atau tempah di London, Kak Rosmah?” http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UsefulOxymoron/~3/jAYdV-BPpNA/tweet-42.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Naïve Näyva)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UsefulOxymoron/~4/jAYdV-BPpNA" height="1" width="1"/>http://naivenayva.blogspot.com/2011/08/tweet-42.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5436480118661780399.post-8624052599741580677Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:32:00 +00002011-08-17T10:32:00.290-07:00Singing and I are not on good terms.

There are two ways to look at it. By popular belief, we say that bad luck precedes good luck. I happen to see it in a different light. Things happen as a result from our past choices.
