A Little Bit of Funny, A Little Bit of Sweet, A Whole Lot of Life: July 2011

So what is a normal family anyway? Clearly Reagan does not believe she belongs to one!

Whatcha readin?

Since you asked...

Now:

The Inheritance of Loss - so far an interesting read that makes you grateful for what you have and where you live.

Lately:

The Shack: A must read tale on the transending power of forgivness and letting go

The Help: The story of a small southern town and their struggles of integration. Ok story, but pales in comparision to The Known World in capturing the spirit of the people.

The Lost Symbol - A great who done it mystry with a few less than desirable sub plots that leave you hangin' if ya know what I mean.

We Were the Mulvany's - great book about what tragedy can do to a family and how they then inhabit their space.

Sarah's Key - Fantasic book about the French involvement of the extermination of jews in WWII

Broken Open - A must read for anyone ready to do some self evaluation

The House at Sugar Beach - She really glazes over the emotional parts and focuses on the mundane. For that, I didn't become vested in what she was writing.

Peoney in Love - A lot like The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold. Fasinating look at Ancient Chineese Traditions.

Must Reads:

The Known World by Edward P. Jones

The Alchemist by Paulo Cohen

The Secret Scripture by Sabastien Barry

Tweak by Nick Scheff

Life of Pi by Yann Martel
