You Shall Know Our Velocity!

I must say. This book gathered dust for weeks before I liked it. I bitched about the no chapters, and how I had no idea what I was going on. (honest) Until the second I was left to catch a train ride with nothing to read, searching my room I grabbed the first thing I saw....VELOCITY!

I have not put it down since. I urge you to read past the not typically chaptered book (it goes by days, not numbers). Get lost in Will's head, deal with Hands' stories, and remember Jack. The two friends ,Will and Hand, find themselves on a week long escapade in which they only wish to give away money. Money that Will stumbled upon and felt was completely useless to him. Taping it to donkeys and leaving envelopes on huts in Senegal, swimming in the waters at 1 am, Casablanca, and painful memories of their childhood friend have me intensely reading this book that took me so long to appreciate. Once again Dave Eggers has made my reading experience pleasurable. I am a true fan.

The nights are getting cooler, days are shorter, but its ok. Autumn approaches.

Why I am reading Breakfast with Buddha, by Roland Merullo


do i like? yes
am i finished? no

When Otto needs to go settle his deceased parents land in the midwest; his zany sister thinks its a lovely idea to send him on his way with a monk. Otto, not believing in much spirituality, has quite a trip on his hands. Traveling through the states he becomes a fan of this man that is so different than him in so many ways. He apprecitates life and beliefs that are contrasting to his own...something I think we can all learn from.

Perusing the aisles of Barnes and Noble, I found something way better then a book to read. A good friend sitting in the cafe. With my giving up on picking out a book for myself I gave my reading rights over to him. Trusting him with my whole being, I ask him what to read. He gets up leaves me in the cafe and returns with this.

The Book of Secrets by Deepak Chopra

I was feeling like I needed a spiritual lift. The secrets give you a lift, all the while feeling so grounded. Only half way through I am enjoyin immensely new facts, views, and feelings. Sometimes you just need to step out of what your feeling and see it from all sides to know that you will be ok. Thank you Deepak.

Give it a whirl.
