More Bookish Thoughts

Well, it is a beautiful and breezy day on this side of paradise, and I am thankful that the storms of yesterday were no worse than they were here. There was such devastation and destruction in other areas (even deaths), that I am astounded that we escaped so easily. It is both awesome and humbling.

Moving on along...
Since my last post, I have finished Elisha's Bones as well as Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlin (which I did not have listed last time).
The former was good, but not as well written as I might have expected.
The latter is typically Heinlin (which is good!) , and as some others had told me, very different from the movie. Hollywood really screwed up on this one.
Have started Wish List (which I mentioned last time), and it is more serious, mysterious, and "dark" than I anticipated. The synopsis I had read led me to believe it would have been funnier or more on the light side. NOT! Good food for thought about our thoughts and how we should be more mindful of them, and their effects on all around us, esp. those we love.
Also reading SHED now by Julie Morgenstern. It is more than a decluttering/ organizing book and is more about assessing what is important and what is not in one's life in order to get "unstuck" and be able to access the time and resources one needs to pursue and enjoy the treasures (instead of being hampered by all the trash) in our lives. Good book!
Still savoring The Power Of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It has so much good stuff that I catch myself wanting to plow through it and have to make my self slow down so that I can actually internalize and digest what I am reading before going on.
Sooooo What's On Your Reading List These Days???
