Last week without asking for anything I was handed some interesting items. For one thing, Emi gave me a DVD of The Secret. Although I have an inkling of what it’s about, there’s nothing like seeing the real thing. I want to know what’s causing all the hoopla, why so much publicity over this book, since for years there have been many books about this topic on the market. So, for a few reasons, I’m eager to watch this DVD. Thank you, Emi. I can’t wait to watch it. www.thesecret.tv
Then Alicia sent me a book from Raleigh. One she highly recommends called Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Interesting title for what looks like a very interesting book. This on the back cover, “If a more likable writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven’t found him or her. . . . Gilbert’s prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit, and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible.” The New York Times Book Review. Thank you, Alicia. I can’t wait to read it. www.elizabethgilbert.com
And lastly, Sumi gave me her book, Sunfood Cuisine by Frederic Patenaude. Someone gave it to her a few years ago, and it’s not for her at the moment. That someone was, you guessed it, me. The last time I was at Sumi’s apartment I couldn’t help noticing that the book looked untouched. Now I’m the proud owner of it, and perhaps I’ll whip up some delicious meals and perhaps I’ll bring them over for Sumi to sample. Thank you, Sumi. I can’t wait to use it.
Nice!
