Tonight, a great time had at a super bowl party with friends and family. All day, a great afternoon spent with an awesome novel from Oprah’s book club – Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. Amazing writing. I never read a book where it isn’t the action of the lives of the characters that intrigues me and moves the story along, but their thoughts. The scary part is that I see myself in parts of them. In a way, it’s nice to know that certain ways I think, feel, and act must be common characteristics of human nature and not unique to me, but on the flip side, a curtain was lifted and I can’t be those people anymore. I think I found my own particular freedom in this book and I’m only half way through it. I can’t wait to see what happens to me.
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen …get it, a good read for parents and adult children alike.
And so, as another day goes by, I have read, watched, been enlightened by this day, and…I have written.
You scared my to-do list of hundreds and hundreds of rows in a spreadsheet, let me summarize as follows: it is like buying lottery tickets. Instead of buying a ticket, sit in it and hope for the best, Ill buy all you can before release.
The Super Bowl is, but we shall see with friends, so even a bookworm like me knows that it is inappropriate to bring a book. We like being together, and I really do not care about sports, so I am usually sitting next to him with a book.
Haha cosmetic! I understand! But I didn’t bring the book to the party! I read it home all afternoon. We went to the party an hour b 4 the game, but I actually DO like football but our team is the Pats. When they are on – no books for me! Lol!
