The Zahir

Initially the story was very pleasing but later when Mikhail took a part in the story I was completely annoyed by the things that he was preaching.. Later part of novel completely revolves around the superstitions of Mikhail - Divine voice of love... I didn't like it as I don't believe in them. If I ignore those things then I would surely enjoy the novel fully for its philosophical content...

Though there are many, here are some citations which I likes to the most..

“I'm not interested. I'm not in the mood
How could they possibly know if they were in the mood or not if they had never tried? But there was no point in asking; the truth was they were afraid of any change that would upset the world they had grown”

“Until One morning, I'll wake up and find I'm thinking about something else, and then I'll know the worst is over. My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.”
