Summer affords me more reading time. Not that I ever stop reading.....Summer just lets me read and read and read. I panic if I have fewer than six books stacked HIGH, ready to be consumed.
I have just finished, Women Food and God by Geneen Roth. I want every woman to read it. Its dripping with life lessons, or as she calls them AFGO! "Another Fucking Growth Opportunity!" We all have to try and grow and learn, don't we???
I confess I thought it was going to be more about our ideas associated with food and eating, and it is. But..that is only a small part of what makes us tick, and we are so interesting.
Stephen Levine, a Buddhist teacher, said that hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are!!! another pearl of wisdom, handed out at one of Mrs. Roth's retreats.
Also another teacher was asked, "How she allowed herself to tolerate deep sorrow, I live among the brokenhearted. They allow it." Catherine Ingram was her name.
I must read it again.
but now I'm knee-deep in Backseat Saints by Atlanta author Joshilyn Jackson.
The review in Sunday's paper, had me at Barnes and Nobles by noon.
It was described, Like reading a fired bullet!!!! and one of my favorite lines of all time, "a hundred different kinds of pure, naked CRAZY." Gawd, I love southern writers. Her characters are described as damaged goods, nursing deep hurts, that hiss like snakes on every page. Sweet Jesus, delicious.
So far, so good.
Summer reading, and the living is easy.
