Day 4 – your favorite book
My favorite book that I've read is one that I read way back in 2002. I picked it up at a Barnes and Noble for $4.95 (Those tend to be my favorite books!)
Anyways here is the book and the description of it (from Wikipedia). If you get a chance, grab a copy and read it. In fact, I may pick up my copy and read it again!
Hawaii is a novel by James Michener published in 1959. Written in episodic format like many of Michener's works, the book narrates the story of the original Hawaiians who sailed to the islands from Bora Bora, the early American missionaries and merchants, and the Chinese and Japanese immigrants who traveled to work and seek their fortunes in Hawaii. The story begins with the creation of the islands themselves at the dawn of time and ends in the mid-1950s. Each section explores the experiences of different groups of arrivals. The point-of-view changes with each chapter, although as the novel nears its end, these points-of-view change and coalesce rapidly culminating with the "Golden Man", who Michener describes as racially and culturally the result of the millennia of immigration to the islands.
