have you read desperation?

Nobel - A Century of Prize Winners - Michael Worek 100 Discoveries - The Greatest Breakthroughs in History - Peter Macinnis The New York Times Practical Guide to Practically Everything - 2nd Edition - Amy Bernstein

I have been in the mood for an educational read for a while now....

Originally posted by heavenisblue I think the book you are referring to is - They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan. I read it a few years ago and it left such an impact on me that I can remember the details of it much better than a book I finished a month ago. I would recommend having some Kleenex nearby.

Thanks! I bought it a few weeks ago, but since we are moving, its all packed up and I couldnt remember the name for the life of me....cant wait to get into it! I actually *prefer* stories that tug at my heart, it keeps me reading....

Originally posted by evil_cookie I highly recommend reading James Orbinski's An Imperfect Offering. Professor Orbinski was formerly the president of Medecins Sans Frontieres--he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. His book is about his first hand experience as a physician for MSF in Rwanda during the genocide.

LOL would you believe me if I actaully went out and read it?

Just bought a few new books...

The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society (supposed to be very well written- came highly recommended by a nice old lady on a flight I was working on)

Honeymoon With My Brother: A Memoir (stumbled across this and I am very much looking forward to it- It's a true story about a man who gets dumped the week before his wedding. He decided to take his brother on his honeymoon and they end up traveling the world and learning life lessons for the next 3 years)

Book of Negroes - I believe the hype.

Eat, Pray, Love- I was avoiding this but caved after at least 5 people told me how amazing it is.
