Let's Read

The Alchemist was an excellent choice to read as my first book for the challenge. Not only was it short, it was exciting and resonated well with me.

The second book was selected by someone who  I admire and is an inspiration to me. I met this man a couple of months ago, and from day one his energy has been infectious. The wonderful Sean M. Field suggested Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.

Oddly enough I know the third book I'm going to read. I wanted to wait until I was finished reading the book I had before I asked the next person, but I came across the Canada Reads 2015 Options and a few of them caught my eye. But the next book to read is from the Best Books of 2014 list - The Back of The Turtle by Thomas King. There's something about the Indigenous American culture especially their worldview that I connect with. I feel like I must read this book. So it will be my next choice.

Happy Holidays and happy reading all!

Different

It's been a very long time since I've typed a blog post. Maybe I will, maybe I won't revive the blog. Regardless, I wanted to put some ponderings down on electronic paper. I don't even know if people, apart from the governments, read this.

I've began a reading challenge that hopefully will not die. At least for 2015, every month I am going to read at least one book. Each month I am going to ask one trusted friend to suggest one book that friend believes I should read. It can be a book on anything. I will try my level best to complete the book. I'm also assuming that if they think I SHOULD READ THIS BOOK then I will have no problem reading the book.

Book #1 for this personal challenge is The Alchemist.

 So far, it's a very lovely book. It definitely makes me happy to start this personal challenge.

Sometimes you have to do something different. Different doesn't have to be extravagant. Different just has to be...different.
