At First Sight

"At First Sight" by Nicholas Sparks is very captivating, and is the latest book that I finished. Last night I couldn't keep the book down before I actually finished it. It is an amazing story of the ups and downs of relationships, and of love at first sight, and of how that love sustained. I would recommend people to read that novel. It's not an unrealistic romance. And the twist in the end was, I guess so unpredictable. They were focusing on the unborn baby and anxieties of the parents to be, that ABS (amniotic band syndrome) may be a potential danger to the baby, and the baby may end up born with physical deformities, and the extreme rare case, the baby may die! But who was to believe that, when a healthy baby was delivered, the mum would die because of what is called amniotic fluid embolism, and surprisingly, the two diseases are not related.
Another surprising thing was Doris being able to accurately judge the gender of an unborn baby way in advance, and also whether the baby would be miscarried. And her ability to judge so for 93 women under "controlled settings". It was pure intuition, but hey, it worked, always!!

The book mentions that somethings are inexplicable if trying to base their explanation on Science. I guess I have learned to believe that over time. Some things are just meant to be. But even after reading the novel, I do not know whether my belief for "love at first sight" has increased a percent more than what it was earlier or no. You can't have reasons for why you love a person if it was love at first sight. From my experiences in life, if love exists "just because" and there is just no reason why you love a person, you will end up not fighting for that person you love, you will end up not supporting that person. The mind needs a reason for everything, and it's those times when there is no reason that people oftentimes end up walking out of love. On the other hand, knowing why you love someone has you have a reason for wanting the person in your life and of course, fighting for the person's presence right where she belongs. It's plain simple as that. Yes it worked out for Jeremy and Lexie...

I am searching for a good book to read. I may as well read when I can :) Any suggestions anyone?
