Declaring the next in line to be read feels like a lie sometimes. Because I am SO TERRIBLE at sticking to a reading plan. That said, I do have two books I would like to tacking next.

This week‘s choice? “The Big Man in the Sky”, a biography written by Stephen Crane that describes his early life and life-story that shaped him towards becoming an American Writer, which brought into sharp focus what made life meaningful even until today.
