May: Books Read (& Weekly Geek #6)
Posted by kjcardoza at 2:21 pm in For the month, challenges, weekly geek

I actually read quite a bit this month, thanks to NOT having to spend every waking hour on the assessment for work and also because I listened to some audio books (instead of just podcasts) while getting things done around the house.

This post is also is part of the Weekly Geek assignment, Catching Up, for Week 6. Since I don’t post reviews on my site, rather just give a few anecdotal notes with each entry in my Now Reading Library, I’m wrapping up my reading list for the month here and catching up. This is what I read in May: (Best part is… school’s almost out so there will be even more time for reading coming up!!)

    That’s quite a list! I’ve been in a bit of a reading funk lately, but I’m starting to come out of it now. :)

    Welcome Maree! It helped that 6 of them were audio books so I could multi-task. I know it’s not for everyone but I actually like having the stories read to me at times.

    ps.. I added your link to my blogroll :-)

    I am so greatful to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah for turning me onto Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and her beautiful book “”My Stroke of Insight”". Her story is amazing and her gift to all of us is a book purchase away I’m happy to say.

    Dr Taylor was a Harvard brain scientist when she had a stroke at age 37. What was amazing was that her left brain was shut down by the stroke - where language and thinking occur - but her right brain was fully functioning. She experienced bliss and nirvana and the way she writes about it (or talks about it in her now famous TED talk) is incredible.

    What I took away from Dr. Taylor’s book above all, and why I recommend it so highly, is that you don’t have to have a stroke or take drugs to find the deep inner peace that she talks about. Her book explains how. “”I want what she’s having”", and thanks to this wonderful book, I can! Thank you Dr. Taylor, and thank you Eckhart and Oprah.
