Cindy's First Manifest Monday

I suppose I could post about the wonder textbooks that I HAVE to read, but I won't. :)

I might post about the several books I am reading to increase my success as a Home Visitor. Nah.

I could post that I am reading, slowly, but surely, my way through Midnight's Children. But, I won't.

This is my current favorite reading book:

My last book of the summer was "Wolf at the Table", which was also written by Augesten Burroughs. It captured me.

I guess I knew he had other books, but didn't take the time to find them. Then, last week, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, and this guy's brother was highlighted. Then, of course, I went and read the brother's blog. Long story short, I realized that I was missing out on this book, and wanted to check it out. So, I did, from the library. :)

This is a memoir about a boy's life with a crazy mother, and how he copes with her crazy psychiatrist. The writing style is easy to read, even when the content is not. The author describes his thoughts and the fine details of his memories. Things like certain smells, and behaviors that made him feel "normal".

I guess there is a movie by the same title. I may check it out sometime. But, for now, I should get some more school stuff done so I can read my book this afternoon.
