This is my first post from my phone, hope it works. This was a great book, much better than I expected! I have read some dry long nonfiction about Africa that feels like a duty more than a pleasure. But this book I couldn’t put down! (Well unless a child was screaming or something and […]

Love Does by Bob Goff
This book was fantastic. It was very inspiring to do love better. The author, Bob Goff, has a pretty amazing life, but writes about it in a refreshingly mundane way- in a way that makes you *almost* think you can also fly around the world and do some pretty awesome things. Or have a […]

This book was really fabulous. I would rank it up there with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who is my favorite author. It is written by a doctor and has a fair amount of medical stuff in it, but it is not written for health professionals by any means. It follows the life story of a man […]

I think this is also a young adult book. It’s harder to know these things when you buy them on a Kindle. This is sort of a high school version on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. And yes, I only started it yesterday- I looked down and all of a sudden I had […]

I’ve been reading.
But I haven’t been blogging. I’m not sure how many hours I spent on airplanes over the last couple months, but it’s more than I care to calculate. The airplane time, coupled with the fab iPad birthday gift have led me to be above average when it comes to the One Book, One Month Challenge. […]
