It seems that I have been bitten by the bookworm again and I have to say, I feel like my old self! The feeling I get from reading a good book is equivalent to running a marathon or catching an awesome wave (or so I've been told). Lately we've been watching a lot of tv, though my hubbie would disagree, and it is so unfulfilling.
Anyway, the 2 books I read were actually quite good despite the fact I found them both by accident.
1) Chesil Beach, Ian McEwan
A beautifully written book sometimes a bit graphic at points but I guess it was necessary to carry out the moral of the story. I'm a prude. It definitely illustrated the danger of the mind and how if we're left to figure out things for ourselves, we'd mess things up pretty badly. I'm glad God's done all the figuring out!
2) The Choice, Nicholas Sparks
Definitely a lighter read than Chesil Beach but it had some great twists! Nicholas is quite verbose, however, that's how he gets you to fall in love with the characters. This book made me cry.....a few times!
