QUESTION #2

I'm currently reading Freakonomics and Autobiography of a Yogi.
I'd recommend the former to anyone who likes to be entertained with interesting facts, and the latter to anyone who wishes to be enveloped in the spirit of love.

What book(s) are you currently reading?
Would you recommend them to your peers?

THE KITE RUNNER. I would recommend this to everyone. It just put things into perspective for me.

MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK is my favorite book. I was two years old when I first read this book. I love this book 'cause it has a monster. The monster's name is Grover. He's blue.

Grover thinks there's going to be a monster at the end of the book. He says "Don't turn the page!!" I turned the page anyway and there was a big scary monster! He had his mouth open wide. I wasn't afraid of him because I am not afraid of anything. Anyway, the monster was Grover.

I think my mom should read this book, but all of my friends would be afraid of it.

I just got done reading 2 books by Isabel Allende, for young adults.

"City of the Beasts" and "Kingdom of the Golden Dragon", even though I'm not a young adult (I'm on the downhill slide to 50) I enjoyed them immensely. I'm looking forward to the third in the trilogy.

"City of the Beasts" is actually a bit subversive in that it describes a scene in which the two teenage protagonists drink ayahuasca (a potent hallucinogenic medicine used by natives of the amazon) and have wonderful insights and a great experience. They don't go insane or become hooked on heroin. Kind of refreshing. I'm going to make sure that my children (when I have them) read it (over and over).

I just finished reading an older classic, "The Courage to Create" by Rollo May, an eminent psychologist who believes, as did Einstein, that individual creativity is often overlooked in the course of clinical analysis. I didn’t think I would learn much from this study of the creative instinct, but I was fascinated by his ability to define and encourage the capacity in us all for inspired vision.

I just read the Bookseller of Kabul. It was an interesting, easy read. Most of all it was fascinating to learn about Afghanistan's culture. Thank God I am an American woman!
The concept of the subservient woman is so entrenched in their minds I can't imagine how women in that culture will ever even entertain the notion of equality of the sexes. Men certainly won't as they seem to have nothing to gain by it. It's alarming. It reminded me of The Handmaid's Tale. Ho do women accept this notion that they are third class citizens?
