A have almost finished reading, 'Diana, Her True Story' by Andrew Morton. This was published in 1992, before the Princess Diana divorced our future monarch and before her untimely death.

In 1992, on publication, everyone was reading this and I never felt inclined.

It is so interesting to read it now in retrospect. It helps to get a picture of what happened, and the birds-eye view, as it were, helps one to feel sympathy for both sides........ and there were two sides.
Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish.

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Read by William Rabkin

It's a Psych novel, and it reads as if I were watching the show.. It sorta bugs me and I'm forcing myself to finish it. That's sorta sad in a way.
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

I am currently reading Buckingham palace gardens which is a nice crime detective work of fiction about a prostitute being murdered and discovered in a closet in Buckingham palace. It can use some major improvements in the plot but its a cool idea. I am also reading our tragic universe which is a nice book about a depressed author who contemplates the end of the world and wants to get her novel published. I am about to tackle hunger games which after seeing the movie is got me thinking its a cool book.

"Street Life: My Story", Wayne Kernochan

Having a really hard time getting into this particular book in the DT series. I don't know if I'm tired of it at this point or if Steven King got tired of it at this point.

"Street Life" is a memoir, it's very edgy, very graphic.
I'm about to embark on Book II of the DT series.

Reading Thomas Cahill's Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter. This is a surprisingly engaging and well written overview of Greek culture. Cahill uses classic works of literature—the Iliad, the Odyssey, Oedipus the King—as a spring board to history, religion, philosophy, mathematics, etc.

I just finished reading "Heaven is for Real" by Todd Burpo. I really enjoyed this book! It went fast and was not a long book but the message is wonderful! It gave me answers to questions about what heaven will be like.

Today I started "We Bought A Zoo" by Benjamin Mee. Its a real life story. Just started so I don't have many comments but to say that it starts off good.
