The Little Prince

I'm sick. It's the normal flu type thing...runny nose and cough. I knew it was coming...too many late nights.

Anyway, although it's the worst possible time for me to get sick (I have exactly a week left before I leave), I have been reading in bed and I managed to finish one of the five new books that I just bought.

It's called 'The Little Prince' and it's an amazing book by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. Definately a recommended read. Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who was a French author, journalist and pilot wrote The Little Prince in 1943, one year before his death.

Although 'The Little Prince' appears to be a simple childrens tale, some would say that it is actually a profound and deeply moving tale, written in riddles and laced with philosopy and poetic metaphor. But at the end of the day, it's a book that can be read by anyone, of any age.

Well, I've got to get back to packing now. Pray that I get better soon...
