I really liked this--footnotes!--but I never got around to reading any others in the series.

I thought that it got a little long at times, but it was a well told story that I got over that and enjoyed a peek at a different kind of life

This is a new series to me. It's just okay. It's kind of cute with Goldy Bear. Goldy seems a bit helpless and always in trouble. I'm going to give this series a try.

As usual, I am a bit behind the times. For lent, our church chose to read Creating True Peace: Ending Violence in Yourself, Your Family, Your Community, and the World by Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh. Well that was during March and April, and while I did read *most* of the book back then, I am finally finishing the last chapter now. Believe me, it was an interesting process reading and discussing a book by a Zen Buddhist with a group of very Maine Congregationalists. When we first picked up this book, I have to admit I groaned a little. Great. This is going to be another of those books that tells you about how you have to fix yourself before you can fix anything else in the world. Which it was. But I found it helpful in a number of ways. Two in particular: 1. Cultivating Seeds This is an analogy my mother used all the time when we were young. "What kind of seeds are you planting? Hitting seeds or sharing seeds?" Thich Nhat Hanh opens his book with a discussion of how we can choose which "seeds" we water in ourselves. (Once again proving that my mother's homespun wisdom is often right up there with the top philosophers and thinkers of our time.) ...our mind is like a garden that contains all kinds of seeds: seeds of understanding, seeds of forgiveness, seeds of mindfulness, and also seeds of ignorance, fear, and hatred. We realize that, at any given moment, we can behave with either violence or compassion, depending on the strength of these seeds within us. Thich Nhat Hanh spends the rest of the book discussing how to cultivate the seeds of compassion. The more we practice compassion, the more it will become a habit, a natural state. Likewise, the more we practice anger, our anger will become stronger and more frequent. It's simple, but very useful and worth being reminded of from time to time. 2. Community One of the last things Thich Nhat Hanh talks about in Creating True Peace is sangha, or community. If we are a drop of water and we try to get to the ocean as only an individual drop, we will surely evaporate along the way. To arrive at the ocean, you must go as a river...We have to train ourselves to see the happiness of our community as our own happiness and to see the difficulties of our community as our own difficulties. Again, simple, but very wise and true. And I believe the author when he says we can "train" ourselves to think this way. Again, like anything, the more we do it, the more it will become a habit.

I didn't really have any expectations going into this book. I haven't been reading as much as I usually do so I was just excited to be making the time to actually read. I am so glad that I chose this book to read! What a great plot...and I don't even like romance or feel-good stories...maybe I am becoming a softie :) I wasn't sure at the beginning if I would read the whole book or not with the way it was going. I am ever so glad I did! Loved how the narrator of the story was a single guy and how his feelings changed about Spring. There were editing errors that bothered me somewhat, but not enough to actually put the book down.

Even if you're not a Moab-loving, rock-crawling, desert-raiding Jeeper, this book is still worth reading.
This probably my favorite book. The first Faulkner I ever read, it blew me away. The story is tragic and yet, I laugh out loud many times as I read. Maybe from the discomfort of watching these people trip through their lives. Have reread many times.

Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is the best fictional defense of libertarianism out there. It concerns the rebellion of the moon from Earth in a fictional future, a future in which the moon has evolved into an entirely minarchist society. What's so wonderful about this book is that Heinlein has created a world in which such a thing makes sense; the statement, "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" rings even truer for Lunar people because they have to pay for every little thing we take for granted, including the air we breathe. The ideas in this book are incredibly well thought-out and presented, and Heinlein's style does an excellent job of putting us there. This is a must-read for libertarians and science fiction fans alike.
