Speaking of books
Catrin's "computer woes" thread reminded me that we haven't had a what-are-you-reading thread in a while. I'll start.
I have several books that I'm working on that the moment:
Alice Munro's Moons of Jupiter. This is one of her old short story collections. I love Alice Munro; she may be my favorite living writer. If you like short stories, I highly recommend her. Plus, she's quite prolific, so you won't run out of material any time soon.
David Lebovitz's The Sweet Life in Paris. I follow David's food blog, but thus far, I'm a little disappointed in the book as he seems more inclined to complain about Paris than to sing its praises. I want to hear about Paris's magic; not its problems.
Kate Atkinson's Started Early, Took my Dog. I haven't fully gotten into this one just yet. I'm a big fan of her previous books though. This is the fourth in a series involved private investigator Jackson Brody. To say they're "mysteries" is somewhat limiting as a description. They're more involved as character studies than the genre typically suggests. She's quite clever. I've heard this isn't the best in the series, but even at her worst, Atkinson is a very engaging writer.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
