  Currently.... {I read  Jamie Morrow's  Currently every week and I always want to hop on board because it seems like such a fun way to keep you guys updated on the stuff going on in my life so here I am.} Loving... Work. Right now work is the break that I get from all the stress of moving.  I am never so happy as I am to walk through the doors of my office and sit down at my desk. Reading... War and Peace.  Well, really I have been reading it since the beginning of the year but since all my current review obligations are filled I am sinking my teeth back into it and really, truly loving it.

Reading Challenge Book Review: Anna Karenina

This book took me a lot longer to finish than I anticipated, months in fact.  I just couldn't get into it at first, Tolstoy's constant changing of how he was referring to his characters really threw me for a loop and made it hard for me to follow along.  I was determined to finish though and I am glad I did, once I got past the politics I found several story lines that are very easy to relate to for just about anybody.   There is a spiritual journey, several love stories, and at the end of the book, at least for me an ah ha moment. Not just the feeling that I had finished it and achieved something but also that I had learned something about myself along the way.  Which is not always something you can say about books these days.
