"Don't grumble, give a whistle!"
I jump started the whole reading gig over the holidays after waaay to long thanks to a couple of books I recieved as gifts. I flew through Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" in parts of two days over the vacation I was so reading deprived. Was so moved I wept like a baby towards the end.
I am now about halfway into "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. I only wish now that I had taken the time from the very beginning to look up the italicised Afghani terms as I went along. Would have been cool, even though Hosseini sets them up in such a way as to impart a reasonable idea as to their meaning. Good read.
Then I'm looking forward to picking up the "Map Makers Wife" by Robert Whitaker again and starting over. I found it to be a very interesting historical piece when I started it almost a year ago. Very detailed. But I was out of shape back then...
...I'll be ready for some heavy lifting when I'm done with TKR...
