But one sentence really caught my attention and got me thinking deep:
"Where you are is who you are."
How true that is actually! I am me everywhere I have been, but the different parts of personality get an outing depending on the location. At this point in my life if I have to choose who I am best and where I am best the choice is quite easy: I like me best in Arillas."The further inside you the place moves, the more your identity is intertwined with it. Never casual, the choice of place is the choice of something you crave."
-Frances Mayes, Under The Tuscan Sun-

Must try that one as we seem to follow each others reads and seeing as I now have more time than anticipated inbetween the job hunting I shall read....theres only so much house work I can take lol
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo was okay but I felt a slow start almost put it down
Ang
James Patterson goes straight to the action which is more my cup tea.
The Nordic writers build the story line almost too long... *yawn*
Frances Mayes...just nice...
so which Patterson books did you read? I've got Private waiting for me to read but I've got a few books by Jennifer Weiner to finish first.
Under the Tuscan Sun sounds interesting. Did you see the film also?
I have read so many James Patterson's that they are too numerous to list.
I have seen the film Under The Tuscan Sun but it is nothing like the book, the book being naturally better :)
I know just what you mean. sometimes when I read too much "heavy stuff" my brain gets pre-occpuied and I need something light and frivolous to read. Check out Hotel Honolulu by Paul Theroux for a fun read.
Will do! Thank you Mr Rockhill :)
