Writing as a path to awakening; A year to becoming an excellent writer and living an awakened life by Albert Flynn DeSilver

...which probably gives you guys a bit of an indication of what I'm into :-) i just bought it for myself as a Christmas prezzie to myself, on account of most of my children never ever give me presents so I have to reward myself coz I am a good mummy, no matter what their Dad taught them or how they treat me.

I read A Man Called Ove, and I loved it. I read 4 more cozy mysteries and Exposed by Lisa Scottoline and Two Nights by Kathy Reichs. I like the last two authors a lot.

I absolutely love Ted Chiang, this man is a genius.

Some month ago I realized that "Romeo and Juliet" is the only one play of Shakespear I've read from the begiining to the end. So I started to read this other works. I can't say that all of them are masterpieces, but I'm impressed in a good way. The last thing I read is his collection of sonnets. They are wonderful.

@DharmaGirl, what are these " cozy mysteries" you're talking about? I love mysteries.

I am reading the first novel of three in the series of 1Q84

I'm reading that too @AnD!

@leehalf, they are romantic mysteries that rot your teeth they are so sweet and pretty easy. If you google the Bookbub website, you can sign up for daily emails for free kindle books. I would recommend Scottoline or Reichs for mysteries. I even read Reichs young adult books.

What a coincidence @DharmaGirl
And A man called Ove is written by a fellow Swede.

@AnD, I also read two of his other books and starting on another.

Got the new Grant biography for Christmas so I've started that. When school starts up next week, I'm sure it will fall by the wayside for a bit. :(.
