What are you reading?

These last few days I have focused a lot on health and wellness, but not the physical aspect of it. I love to read, most people know that about me. I go in phases though, and crave new books, something to open my eyes a little. I am still in love with Pat Conroy, and each time I place an Amazon order I want to add one more Conroy book. I have finished COMMITTED, the new Elizabeth Gilbert book, and must admit I loved it. Not loved it like I loved Eat Pray Love, but loved it none the less. Now I am pushing through the book PUSH. Wow is all I can say so far. Just wow.

What do all of these books have in common? Probably nothing except the company I keep when I read them. My sister, Rach, and I all read both Gilbert books at around the same time. Rach and I read Conroy together, and now PUSH. I love having wonderful women in my life that I can read with and then discuss the books with. I need to discuss books. I need that intellectual stimulation! We have tried in the past to start a book club. Nothing ever worked. I think we all could use a good book club, don't you? Who's in? A book club that meets once a month at Evans Street to discuss books over a few Obies. That is my proposal to keep our mental health and intellectual health in the right spot. Please don't knock each other to join this book club, I have a feeling it might just be the two of us. That's fine, but the more the merrier.

So cheers. Here is to your intellectual health and wellness. If you need something, I will recommend these: TWEAK by Nic Scheff and South of Broad by Pat Conroy.

Inside all of us is HOPE. Happy President's Day tomorrow. My day is jam packed, I am hoping for a good work out, I don't think it will happen though. Tuesday FO SHO!
