Book Tastes
It’s January again and it seems despite my best efforts I have before me a pile of books, both brand new and not so new, for perusing.
Some can be described as hard to find. Some can be described as poignant. Some can be as saccharine as true sugar and honey. One thing though described them as my books. The books I like to read.
I was enjoying lunch with a couple of office friends last week and the discussion went to books. And it was kind of surprising to learn that despite, what seemed to be our mutual love for books. The books we liked were as similar as the Moon and the Sun. Some liked the history books, others preferred the old writers (even in that set there were the lovers and haters of Dickens), and some the new and still some loved to read just about anything. There seems to be an endless of books available for everyone. Each suited for one need and each tailored to one's taste.

have you seen Narnia yet?
First day. It was ok, not spectacular, but Ok. Some of the essential parts especially as regards with Aslan seemed to have been re-written. It is an OK watch nevertheless.
