Watership Down by Richard Adams. A great read about Rabbits breaking out of their warrren and forming their own. Sounds simple and dull, but it's a fabulous read. Way better than the movie too.
Dreamsleeves by Coleen Murtagh Paratore. This is a YA novel I found for free at the bus stop. Sometimes I read YA because I write YA. This book called to me because of the great title and the storyline- an eldest child dealing with an alcoholic father and caring for her siblings/helping her mom. This book was too close for comfort. It was like a slice of my childhood almost to the T. It was creepy. It felt a bit validating to read also.
I'm still working on the Five Love Languages, slowly.
I'm reading Flat screen by Adam Wilson. A dollar store find and not a typical read for me because of the story/characters. I'm loving it though. It's such honest, blatant funny writing. It's about an unlikely friendship between an aging tv actor and a pot selling early twenties loner who lives with his mom.

Finishing up, \"You Were Born for a Reason, The Real Purpose of Life\" by Kentetsu Takamori. Also finishing up, \"Going Om, \" a compilation of stories of the journeys of regular yogis. I am still working on \"Wanderlust\" slowly too. I found a dollar book at the library that I will start shortly, \"amandabright@home\" by Danielle Crittenden.
Wow, we really do have a lot in common. It\'s hard to find someone who reads as much as I do. Refreshing! I\'m going to add your reads to my \"to read\" list. They sound like great reads
