a collective of my consciousness: August 2008

Books of the moment

The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World by Eric Weiner. From Iceland to India, how happy are these places and what makes a place happy?
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin The author shares with us through example how she takes practical steps to finding Happiness in her own backyard. For those who yearn for the outcome of Eat, Pray, Love but to whom trips to India, Indonesia and Italy may not be on the list just yet or ever.
Self by Yann Martel (reads like a documentary. Semi-fiction about transitions and self-discovery a lot of it through sex. I like his story ideas)
Aphrodite by Isabel Allende
Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett (one of my favourite authors evaah)
The curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (Beautifully funny, sensitive and sad)
