Adventures in Reading

This is an interesting blog so far. Are any of you currently reading a book? Just curious. Sheryl said no one had started her book yet.

As for me, I'm in the middle of 3 books right now...and no it's not ADD. I'm keeping up on all of them so don't you worry about that...

1. Boundaries in Marriage by Dr. Henry cloud and Dr. John Townsend...A great book that would help any of you have a more fulfilling marriage. For those who aren't married, the principles would help you have a better relationship with another person in general. It's not as easy a read as a novel, but I've enjoyed it quite a bit.

2. Atlas Shrugged by Ayne Rand... She is the most overly descriptive author I've ever read. Gary and I have read this one together, and we started it the day before his ankle replacement surgery last October. The book is 1069 pages long, before the epilogue, and we are on page 841. Yeah, it's taking a while. We're sort of bored with it. If we would just read 10 pages a day we could be done by the one year mark. It's a book about the theory of "objectivism" which is her theory of life. Basically, survival of the fittest, no emotions involved or you fail kind of a thing. You should not help others who are in need. This is really simplistic, and there's more to it I know. It's not what I was taught growing up, that's for sure!

3. When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris...This is his latest book. Yes, it has a few raunchy parts, watch the language, and hold on to your butts. A few parts have made me laugh harder than I thought I could. I started it in the hospital on Monday and am almost 1/2 way done. It'll be interesting to read his other book soon...
