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.

Fried Eggs With Chopsticks by Polly Evans





I really enjoyed this travel book of China. China is a huge country with a very unique culture. I loved the way Polly describes with warmth the people she met and her frustration at times with the language. Her decription of the children, the toilet system, and most of all the embalming of Mao Tse Tung left me smiling for ages. I must admit I shuddered at all the hawking and spitting that she encountered. That would finish me off. All in all it was a good read.
