I am a happy, married, mother of four wonderful kids and a brand new baby. I love to travel, cook, shop, talk with friends, sing, write, and dream. But nothing beats a good book!! I have and love my eReader (am now making the transition to the Kindle and love being able to read on my iTouch!), but if I really love a book I must own it and be... more »

    you asked if you should read Cry the Beloved Country. I am brand new here, so I don't know how things work yet, but YES, YES you should.

    It is my favorite book.

    It is fiction, but it is written by a man who lived this book every day of his life. It only took him one weekend to write the book.

    There are passages so beautifully written, so poetic, I have memorized them. It is heartbreaking and beautiful and it will leave you sad, but also hopeful.

    Read it and if you do not like it, I will send you a Starbucks card for the price of the book.

    How's that for a can't lose deal?

    Best to you, and if I am not suppose to respond to you here, please inform and forgive.

    Hi Tali, well done! I have been happily married for 21 years, our kids are all grown up now. Our son Steve is 26, and my sweet and beautiful daughter Sarah is 24. They are both great young people. I am very proud of them. I also have two lovely step children Arwen 33 and Ian 31. And two beautiful grandchildren, Angelina and Lorelai. So, I feel very blessed. Which part of Germany do you live in? I hope that you will join us in our discussions and hope you will share with us some of your German recipes. Here in Australia, we celebrate Octoberfest, it is lots of fun. Have a pleasant Sunday, Silvana

    Hi Tali,

    I didn't like The Secret. I didn't like the way it was about yourself and not about other people. If you want to read a book like this, I want to recommend The monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma.
    Do you like it in Japan? I'm interesting in the country and try to learn a little Japanese, but it's a difficult language. Did you live your whole life in Japan?

    Keep on reading!
    Greetings, Monique

    I would love to be friends! Especially with someone who likes Frances Mayes as much as I do! :) I actually started to reread Bella Tuscany yesterday. I love her words and the images she can create in the reader's mind of what Tuscany is like, especially the great sounding food!
    I see you live in Japan, are you originally from Japan?
    I see you read the Sam Campbell books, they are great! My best friend and I read them together when we were about 8 or 9. We loved those books and named our stuffed animals after the animals in his books.
    I love seeing all the books we have in common. Christ's Object Lessons on your shelf is one of my dad's favorite books.
