Last month I read 3 books and enjoyed them all a lot! Now I can't get interested in any
!!
Nora Webster by Colin Coibin (author of Brooklyn)
The Master by the same author
Small Great Thing by Jodi Picoult - I had tired of her but this was really good. Hope I wrote the title correctly because I have a brain block with the title for some reason.

I am about 50% done with The Harder they Come-by T.C. Boyle and I am loving it. I am finding it to be a page turner. Yesterday I finished Unplug: A Simple Guide to Meditation for Busy Skeptics and Modern Soul Seekers by Suze Yalof Schwartz and Debra Goldstein. It's a how to book on mediation. It's a no nonsense simple guide. I found it a bit too repetitious. However, there were some really good tips and explanations in it. The author has a meditation studio in California. If I lived there, it is something I would definitely check out. Here is an article from the LA Times on her studio. www.latimes.com/health/la-he-unplug-20140503-story.html |

@alias, the Harder They Fall was made into a movie with Humphrey Bogart! I must have had that movie on my mind. The name of the book I am reading is The Harder They Come by T.C. Boyle. It was published March 2015. Sorry for the error ! I went back and corrected the title in my prior posts. The book was inspired by a true story. |
