Time planning

I am now reading "The Tenderness of Wolves" by Steph Penny. It won the Costa Coffee book award in 2006 I think.

It is set in 1867 in the Canadian outback. The main charactures are migrants from Scotland and Norway to the Canada and it starts with a murder as all good books do.

The main charactures seventeen year old son dissappears and is hence accused of the murder. Different groups of people set out in search of the lad, all with their own reasons for wanting to find him.

The story is interwoven with many underlying themes, love, greed, inter-racial relationships and an unsolved previous town mystery.

It is easy to lose track of who everyone is to begin with, but you soon build empathy with some of them and distaste at others. But it is a good read, and had I not left the book at work today I would have finished it tonight! I guess it will have a pointnant ending although I cannot guess what it will be.

I would certainly recommend it!

"Brida"by Paulo Coelho in my mother tongue together with "il retorno del profeta"in Italian by author called himself anonymous..from time to time i put them off to read Antonio Machado poems and "the Little Prince"the book i always get back....for tomorrow"The voice of knowledge"by Don Miguel Ruiz and "don Juan"by carlos castaneda are waiting....

I am interested in the novel "The Tenderness of Wolves" by Steph Penny.which was recommended by Libralady.

I could not find this book in the bookstores, Ankara, today.But I will try to get it.

I just finished “The Other Boleyn Girl” by Phillipa Gregory.
Now I am reading “We Need to Talk About Kevin” by Lionel Shriver…..…..well I guess I should say I am trying to read it. I started it months ago and it is difficult to read. It is comprised of letters from a woman to her ex-husband, detailing their lives and what lead to their only son going on a shooting rampage at his high-school. It is gripping and well-written but very disturbing.
I just purchased “Sundays at Tiffany’s” by James Patterson….hoping that will be a little lighter fare...and after that I have “Reading Lolita in Teheran” by Azar Nafisi on tap.

I am listening Duma (Stephen King) instead of reading but since I do that at bed, no luck, everytime I press that little play button in my Creative Zen, I fall a sleep. I am afraid that if this continues to go like this, someday near soon I will wake up in the middle of the night and hear the end of the story
