I recently finished reading a book on my Nook Tablet, and I liked it so much that now I feel I must get an actual "hard" copy of it... I wonder if this will be a recurring problem with reading e-books... The book is called The Long Journey Home by Margaret Robison (Mother of Augusten Burroughs), and it was well worth the read. At least in my opinion... It is her memoir, and, of course she mentions and defends herself against the things Augusten has written about her in his own books. How could she not. I have read most of Augusten's books, one of his brother, John Robison's books, and now her book... This family fascinates me... And makes my own family seem relatively normal... Ha! I am planning to read John Robison's second book very soon as well. Anyway, her book was fascinating because she described the episodes of psychosis she has had throughout her life so honestly and shamelessly... Fascinating. When I finished the book, I was actually kind of sad that it was over... Anyway, it is worth reading...
Now I'm re reading a book that I started a year and a half ago, but never finished... I'm not sure why I stopped reading it then, but it was good so I decided to finish it now... And , because it has been so long, I started it over... It is called Broken Open by Elizabeth Lesser. So far, it is pretty good. The funny thing is I'm getting an entirely new feeling while reading this book this time than I got before... Obviously I am in a different mind frame. When I first started reading it, Pixie and I were having one of our breakups, and I was very down... Now, I am in a much better place in my life.... Not quite as miserable as usual, haha! So that may have something to do with it... It has been a rough month, but I'm trying to stay focused on the positive things in my life, and realize what is and what isn't important to worry about or dwell on. So this book seems like a good thing to read right now...
