Nice to meet you

  I think that it is a suitable time for introducing the plot of "Dear John" by Nicolas Sparks to you, my dear.
  "Dear John", the letter reads. And with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives changed forever.When Savannah Lynn Curtis comes into his life, John Tyree knows he is ready to turn over a new leaf. An angry rebel, he had enlisted in the army after high school, not knowing what else to do. Then, during a furlough, he meets Savannah, the girl of his dream. The attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah vowing to wait for John while he finishes his tour of duty. But neither can foresee that 9 September is about to change the world. Like so many proud men and women, John must choose between love and country. Now, when he finally returns to North Carolina, John will discover how love can transform us in ways we never could have imagined.
  I hope that John's choice is Savannah. It seems to me more romantic.

Hungry eyes

  I have just remembered the song from the remarkable film " Dirty Dancing". I hope that the text will help me to describe my feelings to the chosen book. I plan to read it tonight.

   Hungry Eyes (Eric Carmen)
I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feeling that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize 
You're my tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
I look at you and I can't disguise I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I

The first meeting

   This summer is one of the best. And it is so even not because It was the time of my life with dear people. The main reason is the special book ''The thorn birds''. It turned my soul topsy-torvy. After the reading I really understood that books like people can have the great influence on you.
  I remembered that it would be necessary to read a book in English. I wanted a book which would not disappoint me.
   I looked through many books: the first one was boring, the second was about some politician affairs, the third seemed  very primitive. Suddenly, I saw a familiar title ''Dear John''. Oh, of course, my friend delighted in the film of the same name. She always said to me: '' It does not matter how many years will pass. The one thing exactly will be the same - our "see you soon". It was the phrase from the film.
  Then I decided to find this phrase on the book's pages.
