Good Grief
by Lolly Winston

The cover of this book defines chick lit.   Bunny slippers.
It's an easy book to read.  Sad and depressing though.
In this case, judge a book by it's cover.

Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy

I felt so good reading this book.  I read so much crap and fill my head with so many insignificant details all day long.  It feels freeing to take time with a book and know you are connecting with scores of others in your generation and other generations who have embraced the same words.

And yes, Oprah made me do it.


I was exhausted when I finished this book.  It took almost the entire summer of 2004 to complete.

Favorite Quote:
" The eternal error people make is imagining that happiness is the realization of desires."

Nuff said.

Let's Roll
by Lisa Beamer


What a horrible string of books.
Reading this book made me feel manipulated.  I was hoping for a heartfelt book about 9/11 but instead read ramblings from a non-author.  I feel bad being critical of a woman who experienced loss but . . .
No thank you.
