I LOVED The Glass Castle and My Friend Leonard!

I'll give you a couple genres and you can make your choices :) If you're looking for some witty chick humor, any book by Jen Lancaster is great - and you will be able to relate because she, too, lost her job and gained success writing about it! If you want something a bit more dark and intriguing, I would go for "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls or "My Friend Leonard" by James Frey. Also, "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen is a good one if you're interested in a retrospective read. Right now I am reading "The Time Travelers Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger (I did not see the movie) and it just started to pick up. Hope this helps - happy reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-80801067983323423832009-10-26T08:32:17.625-07:002009-10-26T08:32:17.625-07:00I'm so glad I inspire you, twentyfifth--what a...I'm so glad I inspire you, twentyfifth--what a compliment! It's so important to make time for yourself...don't feel guilty about it! Read any good books lately? I'm on the hunt for a new one...Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425749875167877996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-5686806775061581252009-10-25T19:44:05.654-07:002009-10-25T19:44:05.654-07:00So weird I have been thinking a lot about the qual...So weird I have been thinking a lot about the quality of life. I, too, feel guilty for doing things that I enjoy - like yoga, walking the streets of the City, enjoying a good book at a time other than right before bed - because there are so many other things to do. I always swear to myself I am just going to get a hotel room one of these days that I am off and shut everything off and just be. But, of course, I never do. <br /><br />Glad to see you are taking some time to enjoy the normal things. It is my goal this week on my off day to do two things for myself rather than catch-up work. You continue to be inspiring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
