First book read in 2008!I thought I would start posting what I read.
This book was wonderful! I won't try to compete with people who are much better at reviewing a book, but will just say briefly that it was a great read for me. It's about a lady's journey through Italy, India and Indonesia. The later two destinations were especially interesting to me because she tells us about her "spiritual" journey in these locations. She really made me think about meditation and pursuing God in a more experiential manner. It's not a new idea to me, but far from a reality and this book made me want to try again to practice prayer and meditation. The book was also wonderful for it's sheer entertainment and humor element. It made me long to be on some foreign adventure again.
I'm working on some other books; I'll let you know how they were when I finish.

i love book reviews, since your last post was about "freetime" i'll comment on the fact that I do love a good book in my free time and book reviews are awesome because then i can just skip right to something i know i'll want to read because it was recommended by a friend. . . . thanks for the review!
Hi Timbra,
I think I'll change the title of my blog from "eating my words" to "keeping in touch with my friend, Timbra".
I still remember when you were in Aim and you found a book of mine in the back seat of the car and started reading it out loud and made it so fun. (House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros). It ended up being one of my favorite books and I always think of you when I see it.
Thanks for dropping by so faithfully.
you are so funny. . . i don't remember that at all, i must have been REALLY COOL back then :) I keep checking to see if you've breezed through a second book in 2008, but seeing as you have two small flame haired little firecrackers to take care of. . . it'll probably be another month, in the meantime, what else is new? I still have not finished a single book in 2008 (not even one i started in 2007. . . i mean, wait, i did read at least one book start to finish in 2007)
I love that you tell us about these books. Great idea. I am reading 4 and should put them on too. I am glad I found you.. I am glad you are doing great. Love you, tana
I saw the Oprah with the author and she's a little touchy feely for me, but I trust you Kristi so I am going to pick up a copy. Since I am home right now and will be for most of the nest year Iplan on reading alot. This will be a good change of pace from what I uaually read, investing books and work stuff.
This is a fantastic book. It helps articulate a path toward god through less conventional/traditional means. It celebrates a woman's relationship with god exclusively and this is a beautiful thing.
