I started to read ‘her’ book when I was in form 4. I don’t really remember how I got hold of his book…but I still remember the first one ‘If Tomorrow Comes’…I was really engrossed wit d way ‘she’ wrote it…This writer has developed my great love towards reading. I tried 2 read other novels as well, but d impact I get wasn’t d same…no offend to other great writers!
I continued looking for books written by this writer. Plus I was a hardcore female chauvinist back then (still am, but x hardcore anymore..haha got a dear 2 b taken care of!), I continued looking for other books ‘she’ wrote, n I found ‘The Sands of Time’…n d impact dat I hav was the same wit d first reading. Kinda very difficult to put d book aside unless I fell asleep at wee hours of d night which hardly happened.
Only after I read ‘her’ 3rd book, I realized that my favourite writer is actually a male who loves 2 hav women as d main character be it protagonist/antagonist. I was so impressed to realize that SIDNEY SHELDON is actually a male…since then I started to adore him more n keep on reading his book.
When I watched many reality shows of keeping d dream comes true, my only wish was to join any of them to meet Sheldon. It was like 10-15 years ago…n I still keep d dream alive until yesterday…but yesterday, watching d news was devastating when I was informed dat Sheldon has left d world…n I went black n blank, cudnt even hear what d newscaster was saying anymore!!! I got d shock of my life…this man has got neither close nor bloodline relation wit me, but d news ripped my heart apart n I actually had tears streaming down my cheeks!!…my dream of meeting him in person has just left as dream, he’s gone…
I was thinking since I heard d news y was I so attached wit this man whom I never met n he din even know that I was one of his millions diehard fans… come to think of it, I realize that Sheldon novels hav thought n touched my life, d novels taught me a lot about life…besides I love 2 learn dat he was a multilingual novelist (typical me! LINGUIST… )
Every character that he has, has her own strength…he taught me that life is not easy. To be what u wanna b takes years or cud even b ½ of ur life, but it’s worth fighting for when in d end u manage to get whatever u dream of. He makes me believe so much that every cloud has its silver lining. Thank you Sheldon n good bye, may u be blessed there!
