Currently reading The Bonesetter's Daughter. Haven't been reading any book since young. Don't have a habit to do so I guess. Perhaps this' why I am reading real slowly now. loLs. Furthermore, my English's bad and I have reading deficiency.

Anyways, came across this in the book. Just an extract.

"So what's your favorite word?" Ruth questioned.
"Hm, that's an excellent question." Art fell quiet, stroking his beard in thought.
"Vapors," he said at last. "It appeals to all the senses," he explained. "It can be opaque but never solid. You can feel it, but it has no permanent shape. It might be hot or cold. Some vapors smell terrible, others quite wonderful. Some are dangerous, others are harmless. Some are brighter than others when burned, mercury versus sodium, for instance. Vapors can go up your nose with a sniff and permeate your lungs. And the sound of the word, how it forms on your lips, teeth, and tongue--vaporzzz--it lilts up, then lingers and fades. It's perfectly matched to its meanings."
"And then there's vapor pressure," he continued, "and reaching balance point between two states, one hundred degrees Celsius. One moment you have water, but under pressure from heat, it turns into steam."

I so feel like Ruth. How she felt when she listened to Art explain. "Dull and badly educated." Yes, that's it. Hahas.
