Not long ago, I started a blog about books I own but have yet to read. My first list of must read books I created from books within reach of my prone body in bed ... those particular books, it would appear, I bestowed with more intention of reading than books in my book cases that have unturned pages. My first list has 13 books ... easy reading with the intention set "to read" and "to blog" ... right? UGH! So so wrong! Unfortunate for me and unfortunate for my little blog of little following the number 1 book on my list is a book that I find so boring I have an abnormal urge to hurl the book out a window! But, I said I would read my unread books. I made the public announcement. I blogged it. (another UGH!)
Anyone else ever read Byron Katie's book Loving What Is? Am I missing something between the pages that I've yet to discover? What was the hook that snagged you?

Just finished Sarah's Key by Titiana deRosnay ..it is fiction but based on the
Vel"d'HIV in France during WW II I thought in school we got most of the picture of the Holocaust but this French roundup was never known to me till I read the book..well written and fast moving..I would recommend it to anyone and also think it would make a good book group book for those of you who belong to one..
Now I am heading for a light read next .....

I'm on a Hiassen bender! This is absolute pure pulp with a sardonic twist. Hiassen is a reporter for (I believe) The Miami Herald. He used to say that he got his material from stories that the newspaper felt too bizarre to print. I was born and raised in Florida and I love reading Hiassen's stories about places I have been and crooked real estate developers and politicians that I'm sure that I have met. I recently turned my partner on to him and we just can't stop reading him aloud, laughing and crying at every turn. We're just about finished with Lucky You, a story about a lotto win gone awry. Dark, witty, and indisputably pulp. I love these books!

good to hear you enjoyed the book...it was a gift from Raechal and I'm so into exploring more with my dreams... which I've journaled about for so many years.

there aren't enough books about liberal christianity, rick. so thanks for this suggestion. i was reading peter gomes (sp?) sermons. they're good too. have you checked him out? and thanks for the jim harrison suggestion..lately biographies are the most interesting things to me....other people's life stories are fascinating me. i read awakening the dreamer, lillian. good suggestion here!
