Reading

June 4, 2007

As a librarian, you would think that I have a strong connection to books..which I do, but I don’t read much anymore.  Part of it is a very strong dissatisfaction with the libraries in Israel (you yishuv people keep quiet!).  But that is for another post…

Friday was the AACI Yard Sale. I didn’t find much stuff of interest, but I did manage to buy two relatively recent paperbacks.  The first one was read in two days…partly because it was good, partly because I am so starved for reading, and partly because I couldn’t handle the emotions connected with the book.  It is called The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.  It gives you interesting perspective on death.  What I found so interesting was that there was a definite heaven, but it wasn’t connected to religion.  If you do choose to read it…prepare to cry.
