Read this summer '07: Eat Pray Love
Again, saw this on Oprah... then saw it at Wal-Mart and thought... what the heck.
It was a nice read, nothing revolutionary about the concept. Basically is a suggestion on how to live.... I felt that those who reveled in it's Glory had clearly not been reading much on spirituality at all. Hence their "breakthrough" moments from this one.
It was a nice read though, some good parts, some painfully long and boring parts as well. Let me know if anyone wants this one!
After reading Deepak Chopra's "The Book of Secrets" .... It is clear, Liz has got nothin' on Deepak! Ok.. I did not learn about Deepak on Oprah, I listen to Lime Radio w/a Twist on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 114. I said that just like the announcer peeps!! Lots of neato stuff on that channel.
Before that I think I read some garbage on real estate... not worth a dime. Nice heavy paper, hmm.... is a craft being born???
Currently Reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Of course I read practically nothing but Oprah book club selections... Why do you ask. Well, cuz I'm too lazy to follow any other media or book recommendations. Too lazy to read reviews... too lazy to well, think for myself I guess. So, if it has the seal of approval from Oprah, then I usually do enjoy it. My eyes are burnt out by the end of the day... Google reader is starting to get the best of me. My current addiction to Ravelry.com is beginning to take the lead though.
So, it is an epic novel, spans three generations of family. So far so good, I'm about 3/4's the way through. I only read at bedtime, so it takes me awhile to get through any book. I'll be happy to pass this one along when I'm done.
