Well I have always promoted the book “My sister’s keeper” I loved it, simply because of how it reduces you to tears at all these emotions mixed up in an almost classical style to a point where you do not know what is right and what is wrong.
So I did follow my favorite writer Jodi Picoult on twitter.com and she wrote the following :
jodipicoultAt last! The movie poster for My Sister’s Keeper – in theaters June 26!
To which I replied to like any loyal fan would (kiss up with style..J/K) know I meant every single line of what I have written
:
RaedKun@jodipicoult Congrats! Kudos to the only book of modern times that gave same chills I had when I’ve read Dostoevsky’s work..
To my amazement this great writer actually replied with :
jodipicoult@RaedKun I’ll take that compliment, thanks!

I thought you once said to me that you avoid being close to alive authors.
So you broke that rule 😉

Its intresting to see you out of all people praising twitter
I joined twitter but I did not get the point, now it is just making a little bit of sense actually. I would love to connect with people I admire like writers.

I never read to recent (Arab Writers) but I always did to ones other than them.so nope I never broke the role you spoke of
I have to be in a prison cell in a whale’s stomach to open a book by غازي القصيبي ، عبدالرحمن المنيف، وداد الكواري، أحلام المستغنماني…
I only read وليد الحضيف which I truly enjoyed but its more like articles and not a book.

That’s very awesome! I would have never thought that you’d end up totally loving Picoult and follow her on Twitter!
Have you read her latest work, Handle With Care? It reminds me A LOT of My Sister’s Keeper, it almost sounds like a sequel to it. Or an imitation of it. Kinda disappointing, plot-wise but still mesmerising language–wise
