Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book.

This is the first one on the list because this is the first book I finished in record time by far the fastest one ever! I'm so hooked I can't really put it down if I combined my reading hours it would be about less than twenty four hours in reality about two to three days(due to limited reading hours per day). Awesome book! Neil Gaiman you rock! I also saw the BBC installment for this it's really old and low budget TV series but everything I've ever imagined appeared on film it's all good I understand I mean that was taken in the 90's imagine that O_O the book's way better but it's really nice to see it live in action(film) :D

About the book from Goodreads
As a young boy, Pao comes to Jamaica in the wake of the Chinese Civil War and rises to become the Godfather of Kingston’s bustling Chinatown. Pao needs to take care of some dirty business, but he is no Don Corleone. The rackets he runs are small-time and the protection he provides necessary, given the minority status of the Chinese in Jamaica. Pao, in fact, is a sensitive guy in a wise guy role that doesn’t quite fit. Often mystified by all that he must take care of, Pao invariably turns to Sun Tzu’s Art of War. The juxtaposition of the weighty, aphoristic words of the ancient Chinese sage, and the tricky criminal and romantic predicaments Pao must negotiate goes far toward explaining the novel’s great charm. (more)

Only Time Will Tell By Jeffrey Archer


Yipee-ka-YEY! I can't wait to receive,read and make a review about this book XD

About the book (from Goodreads)

The "Clifton Chronicles" is Jeffrey Archer's most ambitious work in four decades as an international bestselling author. The epic tale of Harry Clifton's life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, 'I was told that my father was killed in the war'. But it will be another twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father? Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks, or the first born son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns a shipping line? "Only Time Will Tell" covers the years from 1920 to 1940, and includes a cast of memorable characters that "The Times" has compared to "The Forsyte Saga". (more)
