Book Choice

Well, I finally finished the book.. which these days is an accomplishment in itself. Because I am not a book critic, I am able to say that I thought it was worth reading, not my favorite book ever, but definitely not my least favorite. It was a little strange in parts, but I read it to the end... which is a good thing. If it was my least favorite I would have never finished it. I guess I am kind of shallow in the reasons why I read a book...if it is relaxing and keeps my interest I am happy.
I just started The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. It is going to be a very quick read. I am really enjoying it so far. I know it has been talked about A LOT in the media, etc. but with all the hype around it, I still feel like his message is worth reading. If we are looking for a new book to read for the book club, it would definitely be one to consider (plus I might have a head start:) I have only read a chapter or 2, but it has touched me on many levels.. as a parent of small children, as an adult who had a great childhood, as an adult with more to accomplish and lastly, as a parent who has had a child die before them. Think about it.. I would highly recommend it.
Hope everyone is doing well, happy and healthy. I will get busy and post some pictures of the kids soon. Kara
