Hey Guys! I'm reading again because I'm on vacation and can't seem to allot myself any time to read when I have normal life. The book at the moment is "Catfish and Mandala" which I have a hard time putting down, by Andrew X. Pham. I suppose it awakens some of the "Everything is Illuminated" love I have in that it's a traveling journey that jumps around the timeline, retracing history and heritage (though this one is slightly more realistic). Also, it can be very SAD (but happy too)!
Dad recommended it, and it was good... reminded me I love books and can possibly read a chapter before falling asleep at night (how do you people read otherwise? I used to do it on the subway, but now I just walk across the street to school/work)! Not finished, but will be soon.
I have another book called "Maries Reise" (Marie's Trip) which Bene gave me for my birhday, but I've only read a little before starting 'Catfish' and I think the german factor might make it less interesting for this page. Still, it's another travel story by a young author so... yay!
Fyi, Isabelle's favorite readings at the moment are blogs of trendy Mormon mothers. They do seem cool (though I told her to please not have 8 kids).

We are about to publish a book about traveling too (that is originally German) called "I'm Off Then".
I won't have 8 kids...
The audiobook is my answer to not being able to read books made out of paper for lack of time. Have I mentioned I do my best "reading" while I run. And, it actually motivates me to run! Geek extraordinaire that I am, I was listening to Pride & Prejudice when I ran the Bluegrass 10K in July.
Claire, you must write a book about your travels through NZ, at least for a travel magazine. Thanks Gwen for inviting me....
Will you get me the book, please? Btw, I left Catfish with Joan.
Aunti G... I have been listening to some more shopaholic, and even watched the movie on the plane.
Hey Claire, I have an idea... you write about your travels and I document them with my new camera extraordinaire!
Are you going to take pictures from New York?
No, silly. I would come WITH YOU!
