My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • _Heroes and Monsters:  An Honest Look at the Struggle within All of Us_ by Josh James Riebock I am not sure where I found this title. Maybe it was a recommended read from Susan Cain about an introvert. Or maybe it came from someone else that I follow on FB. Sometimes I lose track of where my thoughts, recommendations, information, etc. come from…. 😉 In any case, this was a beautifully written work.…

  • _The Time Keeper_ by Mitch Albom So, in my continued reading spree, I thought I would try Mitch Albom’s latest book or latest to my knowledge. This was really an interesting read and a bit different from his past work. The book follows the path of Dor from the past, known now as Father Time, and two people from the modern day – Sarah and Victor – both at the opposite ends of…

  • It was less than a week that my computer was gone. Part of me really missed it and part of me did not miss it at all – I did have my iPad mini, after all! 😉 The source of the problem is unclear, but it seems that it was more of a software issue than a hardware one as originally thought. Thankfully, this also saved me some cash. The man who worked…

  • _Inferno_ by Dan Brown It may be wrong to admit that I have read all of Dan Brown’s books and enjoyed them immensely. Although I am not alone in admitting to liking his work, I do wonder if he has been more lucky then talented. Even still, I think his writing has improved and so I was pleased to read this new novel. Of course, I might be a little bit biased as…

  • It has now been almost four months that I have been consistently taking the Cipralex and it was not until I made my trip home that I realized just how much it is working for me. Honestly, I had contemplated going off of it in a few months, but upon reflection I am not sure. Maybe going a full year and continuing to reflect on my life will be better so that I…

  • _The Round House_ by Louise Erdrich Back in my literature major days, I was introduced to the name of Louise Erdrich as a prominent and talented Native American writer. In those days I was not interested in contemporary or modern fiction and was not really sure that I cared to read about Native American culture, even though I have always held a fascination with their history. So, when I was trying to prepare…

  • _12th of Never_ by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro Continuing the Women’s Murder Club series, Patterson and Paetro did another decent, but not fantastic job of creating both suspense and progression of the characters’ lives. While the suspenseful parts were good, I felt as if most of the storylines were disjointed, which I know I have mentioned before in this series. In some of the books, certain characters are the main focus while…

  • It has been almost a week now that I have been in Thailand. R and I are back in Phuket, where I have been mostly sleeping, reading and watching movies. 😀 We are staying at a pretty nice place, despite the ongoing construction. It is called Kata Ocean View Residences, which is up on the hill from the main road in Kata/Karon area. Where we are staying is a seaview condo with two…

  • _Public Apology:  In Which a Man Grapples With A Lifetime of Regret, One Incident At A Time_ by Dave Bry Due to my friend and college-mate being a very successful editor, I keep track of new novels that come out from her publishing company. This was one of her latest successful novels. Dave Bry has a very entertaining style with a personal touch in his stories that allows readers to feel as if…
