so i’ve decided this is the summer to read different things – this and that – mostly that though…

“captain saturday” – written by inman – who i think is coming to our county in february to speak – basically a story about a middle-aged man who loses everything and discovers what’s important – which is cutting grass – i couldn’t relate… 🙂

“looking for alaska” – again, a guy who’s coming to the county in february – green – this book is – actually, both books are – at the county library – the book’s author satirizes indian springs and weaves in a story about death – a  student death – you’re left to wonder whether the death was accidental or suicide – the second half of the book (the “after”) was better than the first half (the “before”) if just b/c there are certain things i’d rather not know in detail – and those things were described in detail

“lance” – biography on lance armstrong – really enjoyed this book – story of a guy who has faced many obstacles and overcome – inspiring – lots of lessons to draw from – one of them is the question, what motivates you? do you do things out of anger (like lance rode angry when he was younger – and won a bunch) or for other reasons??? (ego, money, love, the like)

must run – children coming at ehes – happy reading

sincerely,
