The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Milan KunderaYou can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself0 -

Reading 'No Destination' by Satish Kumar (autobiography)
At the age of nine, Satish Kumar renounced the world and became a wandering Jain monk. Leaving the monkhood when 18, he joined Vinoba Bhave's campaign for land reform, working to turn Gandhi's vision of a renewed India and a peaceful world into reality. He undertook an 8000-mile peace pilgrimage, walking from India to America without any money, through deserts, mountains, storms and snow. Since 1973 he has lived in Britain, taking on the editorship of "Resurgence" magazine, and becoming the guiding light behind a number of ecological, spiritual and educational ventures. Written with simplicity, this is an account of an extraordinary life.0 -

I just finished "Dracula" and quite liked it. I'm a fan of Gothic lit, but with all the vampire craziness lately, I thought I might find it a bit overdone...even if it is the original. But I was pleasantly surprised!2003: Toronto

Just got caught up on the Walking Dead comic books, which were very good. Normally I'm not one for Zombies either. Also reading Anthony Bourdain ~ Kitchen Confidential.
Next up, Cory Doctorow ~ For the Win"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

I like Anthony Bourdain's show never read his books.
I'm about 520 pages into George RR Martin's "AGame of Thrones"

The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean by Susan Casey
Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History by Selby and Campbell0 -
'One day in August 1880, a shabbily dessed young Frenchman disembarks at Steamer Point, in the Arabian port of Aden. He carries a brown leather suitcase; he has a touch of fever.'
At the age of twenty-five, Arthur Rimbaud - the infamous author of 'A Season In Hell', the pioneer of modernism, the lover and destroyer of Verlaine, the "hoodlum poet" celebrated a century later by Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison - turned his back on poetry, France, and fame, for a life of wandering in East Africa. Following his fascinating journey, Charles Nicholl shows how Rimbaud lived out that mysterious pronouncement of his teenage years: "Je est un autre" - I is somebody else.'Post edited by Byrnzie on0
