RE: [TruthTalk] Fw: How to Read

Interesting, Lance, and thanks.  I just cannot stop reading a book word by word, cover to cover.  It’s my personal hang up I guess. It took me for-everrrrr to finish The Divine Conspiracy because I was trying to soak it all up.  I also MUST highlight my way through every book that is at all serious.  As a treat, on the drive down to Memphis, I devoured a cute little book my book club read a couple of years ago and I missed it.  “The First Ladies Detective Agency”.  Totally silly and funny.  You have to love a book whose heroine is a middle aged fat black African lady who decides to start a business as a detective.  I finished it and gave it to my DIL for some escape reading between changing diapers.    Last week I stopped at the bookstore to purchase a copy of “The Life of Pi”, as my book club is reviewing it next week. (I don’t read hardly any of the books they do—just go for the socializing and food!)  Everyone says it is wonderful and they could NOT put it down, etc., etc.  But I did as the article below recommends and took a minute to preview it in the bookstore.  By reading the cover plus perusing inside I was horrified to realize that the whole story involves a man and a handful of zoo animals adrift at sea after their ship goes down, and the animals EAT each other, one by one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leaving just the man and a tiger (or lion, or whatever it was), and he has to figure out how to keep from being EATEN!!!!!!!!!!!!  I DON’T THINK SO!  So I bought “The Kite Runner” instead.  Will let you know….
