Hollydolly Books: Change in List

About Me

Name: Hollydolly

Location: Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

I am an avid book reader. I prefer to read books by Indian authors or books set in India. I am also very interested in the Hindu religion/philosophy, so I do quite a bit of reading in that area. I also enjoy attending my local Hindu temple. It is so beautiful there, and the people are so gracious. They also serve delicious food. It is served with such love it is a joy to partake. I also am a real armchair traveller, so travel literature is a real favorite . I have also become a practising Buddhist, so I do a tremendous amount of studying, which I love. I enjoy going to my local Buddhist temple for study and meditation. Just to walk into the shrine room and see the beautiful serene statue of Buddha is very calming. I am also attending Yoga classes regularly, which I enjoy very much.I am also trying to improve my meditation.

Change in List

I have decided to change one book on my "Winter Challenge" list.For the longest time I have had the book "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini". I do not know why I have been putting off reading this. Husband read it and said it was one of the best books he had read in a long time. I have also read glowing reports on BC. So to "force" myself to get to it I decided to add it to my "challenge". The problem was then, what do I remove. After much thought I decided on "Railway Bazaar - Paul Theroux"

Lets hope that KR lives up to my expectations.

Just stopping by to see how you are doing with the Stacks Challenge. Are you enjoying 'The Kite Runner'? I suspect you are. I haven't seen any updates from you in a while.

I have just finished "Fine Balance" I just adored it. I will write a bit about it tomorrow. Right now I am reading "Song of the Cuckoo Bird" only about 20 pages into it. "Kite Runner" I have decided to read next. I am really excited to read it. So many glowing reviews.
Thanks for dropping by.
