The NewZealand Book Club

The countryside is a wonderful setting for a book...here are the titles that have kept my mind busy:
There's a Cow in my Garden- Diana Lancaster
The Happy Hooker- Xaviera Hollander
A Million Little Pieces- James Frey
Into the Wild- Jon Krakauer
Tuesdays with Morrie- Mitch Albom
Pyramids of the Mind- Malcolm Southwood
Persian Love- Omar Khayam
Jonathan Livingston Seagull- Richard Bach
The Prophet- Kahlil Gibran
Lunch with the Generals- Derek Hansen
The Evolution Man- Roy Lewis
What Dreams May Come- Richard Matheson


And going in order::::
Living a sustainable lifestyle...I want chickens when I get my own place.

The title says it all, but it's an amazing insight into the life of a madam.

Not my favorite, but oprah liked it. Would be sad to think James was my age when the story took place..too bad he fibbed the bulk of it.

Can't go a few months without rereading this favorite of mine...go Alexander.

Everyone has read it so I don't need to touch on Tuesdays.

Not recommended, its a bit out there, mentions rebirths way too much for my liking.

Translated by Len Bracken, a wonderful series of poems dealing with none other than wine.

I stole both Jonathan and Prophet from Patch...Thanks, they are two of my favorite short reads.

Lunch with the Generals- I am saving for the lay over in Fiji, SIX HOURS.

My favorite new book, hilarious look at ape-men and their discovery of fire.

Haven't seen the movie yet but can't wait.
