Of one thing, though, she was sure: "I want to travel, " she confessed. Books were making her restless. She was beginning to read, faster, more, until she was inside the narrative and the narrative inside her, the pages going by so fast, her heart in her chest - she couldn't stop.. And pictures of the chocolaty Amazon, of stark Patagonia in the National Geographics, a transparent butterfly snail in the sea, even of an old Japanese house slumbering in the snow.. - She found they affected her so much she could often hardly read the accompanying words - the feeling they created was so exquisite, the desire so painful. Kiran Desai
About This Quote

Of one thing, though, she was sure: "I want to travel," she confessed. Her desire for travel and adventure was the one thing that was certain in her life. She knew that she wanted to travel to all parts of the world and experience different cultures and meet new people. Her time in the book store was making her feel restless and she wanted to do something to relieve this feeling. She wanted to sleep but instead, she decided to pick up a book and start reading it without knowing what it would be about or if she would like it.
