Sycamore Row by John Grisham

Oh Dear I loved this book...reading it has been a breeze. I was telling my hubby that I just "needed" to get lost in the pages every free time I get. It's a story of a young lawyer Jake Brigance, how he was named as the inheritance administrator by a rich man just days before he hung himself. Jake is kind of a guy one would like, with good looks without being too overwhelming, speak his mind well, not a complicated life with a nice and pretty school teacher wife and one little daughter. He is though one with a high morale, great commitment and motivation, sticking to his believes and to the trust of the dead man all way through. I think the story line is just nice, fast paced, bringing with it some kind of light thrill. I like it and would definitely consider reading another Grisham's lawyer material.

The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall

I am thankful for the chance of reading this book. It is short and sweet, easy to read and grasped my attention from the first page. I thought it's a non fiction but upon completing and searching on the book's background, found out that it's the best of both genres; fiction written so close to the reality of life. My most favourite is the gift of learning. I dream of being with enough resorces one day to open up libraries to enrich the lives of many people. Reading and learning from merely living our lives meaningfully, are for me some of the best "simple things we can all afford and should enjoy before we die". I truly wish that my children would one day want to read this book, at least out of curiosity, ...then let nature take its course. I wish for the same for you :)
