…this page in constant flux…

so many words….here are some of my recent favorites…

eleven minutes - “once upon a time, there was a prostitute called maria”…. paul coelho’s words are magic…

under a thousand suns – the poignant, at times distrubing stories of two women living through the struggles of afghanistan in the last thirty years… (from the same author who wrote the kite runner)

a race against time – stephen lewis (one of my heroes, writes a series of powerful essays. the first begins with ” I have spent the last four years watching people die”….

pattern recognition – from the canadian writer of neuromancer, this newer novel is one of my favorites (and i also fell in love with the protagonist)…

Illusions, the adventures of a reluctant messiah – richard bach takes the reader on a simple and profound journey…

lovely bones – a provocative bittersweet story told by a young girl about the people she leaves behind after she is brutally murdered…

the poisonwood bible – barbara kingsolver’s novel has a slow beginning, but the rest of this haunting story is more than worth the initial struggle
