Today 17/11/2017 – going to briefly to meet my grandmother. I am not much am since last time I traveled 8 years ago. So why I decided to travel?? My exams were over now, I am free. So I decided to travel, I have great expectation for this short visit to see my grandma at bralliey. I have decided to buy a new book written by favorite actor TOM HANKS, his new book Uncommon Type: Some Stories. This book is about — A collection of seventeen wonderful short stories. 

A gentle Eastern European immigrant arrives in New York City after his family and his life have been torn apart by his country’s civil war. A man who loves to bowl rolls a perfect game–and then another and then another and then much more in a row until he winds up ESPN’s newest celebrity, and he must decide if the combination of perfection and celebrity has ruined the thing he loves. An eccentric billionaire and his faithful executive assistant venture into America looking for acquisitions and discover a down and out motel, romance, and a bit of real life. These are just some of the tales Tom Hanks tells in this first collection of his short stories. They are surprising, intelligent, heartwarming, and, for the millions and millions of Tom Hanks fans, an absolute must-have!

This is the part interview taken by the Guardian newspaper. 

Hanks’s book reached me the same day that a group of children’s authors protested against the celebrity-heavy line-up of the annual World Book Day selection, which picked Julian Clary and Clare Balding over more established writers. I tend to think that anything that gets people reading ought to be embraced, and if Hanks turns people on to the short form, then we should be thankful. At the same time, there will be those who pick up this book instead of, say, Madame Zero by Sarah Hall or Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Refugees, the two-story collections that have left the greatest impression on me this year. I was hoping that all the stories in Uncommon Type would be as good as Alan Bean Plus Four. Failing that, I was hoping they’d be as unintentionally hilarious as James Franco’s Palo Alto, which was at least a collection that took risks, and suggested that the actor had put something of his true self on the page. Hanks’s stories – Alan Bean Plus Four aside – are forgettable, middle-of-the-road and touched by the special banality of mere competence.
A very interesting question in NewYork times interview. You must read the whole interview.

What’s the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently?

This distillation of all that Buddhism says: “The person who craves nothing cannot suffer.” From Harari and “Sapiens.” That made me say “eek”, as there is nothing in there about God or the indifferent universe, or our need to be part of a greater connected humanity. That is as simple as “if you don’t buy it you will never need it.” Turns out that Buddha was a sharpie.

What do you look for in a novel?

Authenticity. I want to see the world accurately, and history examined is a search of the detail of truth.

this question is especially ask for trump, the man who read only one book in his life after completing formal education.

If you could require the president to read one book, what would it be?

“The Glory and the Dream” by William Manchester.

this y favorite quote of tom hanks –

Everybody has something that chews them up and, for me, that thing was always loneliness. The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely, even when you are.

I hope u guys enjoy the book of my favorite actor book. as I ordered also. I have to go to catch the train & wish me happy journey by by .
