I've just finished The Oddyssey. I keep thinking about how descriptive the translation/Homer is; it makes me think the Greeks were a lot more creative than we are.

I'm reading When Heaven and Earth Changed Places (this month's selection by our Book Club).  It's a memoir written by a Vietnamese woman about her childhood during the Vietnam War, her escape to the United States, and her return to visit Vietnam 16 years later.
It's VERY interesting.  AND inspirational.  This woman had to endure so much through the years.  Her strength is pretty amazing.
BTW, I'll add my thumbs up to Glass Castle - an excellent read!

I finished to listen to "American Gods". It is a great production done with a crew of actors. Highly recommended it for a long road trip.

I am reading "How The Secret Changed My Life" bu Rhonda Byrne.  This is a book of testimonies from people who practiced "The Secret" and what they results were. I believe and try practicing gratitude and positivity, so this book helps me to stay upbeat.

I use to read all the time but I got away from it. I hope one day I get back into it again.
