A Little Bit of Funny, A Little Bit of Sweet, A Whole Lot of Life: Merry

May your days be merry and bright, and may joy fill you not just this season, but all your days spent with those you love.

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
