    Definetely yes, I really liked this book, specially because it is based in the real Buda's life and some of the things that are told in the main story are steps that the same Buda took when he decided to throw everything away and decided to get to know different spiritual diciplines before finding that nature teach you things and talks to you and how to find you inner self

    p.s. The Lighten Up Club supports lifestyle changes that go hand in hand with losing weight. It encourages healthy habits - good for everyone, but you don't look like you need it : )

    Hello Treal ~ Nice to meet you and good luck on your reading goal. I was charmed to see A Fine and Private Place on your list by Peter Beagle. Such a gentle read. I almost have to read it again when I see it. Suggestion... Look at The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's a great journey. Also Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, enjoying a resurgence right now. Those are a couple that really stand out in my reading progress, so many books, so little time.
    all the best

    Hi Treal ~ You asked about what I do . . . I instruct in the area of the ARTS, and educate others in relation to their inherent "gifts" and "talents" that sometimes lay dormant for lack of recognition and development. (ALL ages) The areas include the Fine Arts ~ literary arts, musical arts, performing arts, and the spiritual connection to God that opens vistas within the individual to better understand not only their "self", but also their family and community, their environment, the world around them, and the part they play.

    THE FOCUS is enhancement and betterment of being.

    Blessings ~
    René

    Treal,
    I just saw your post on "Play Book Tag". Don't forget to post your review on the main discussion thread, so your book is added to the group shelf. That thread is called " Collective reads for August" or something like that. The usual format is to post the title, a short blurb or review, and to give the book a rating out of 5 stars.
    I'm looking forward to reading your review.
    Cheers,
    Laura

    Hi treal, thanks for the welcome. I am very busy unpacking since my recent move from the south of France to UK, but I will be writing again soon. I am also busy seeking a publisher for my latest books but I hope to find time to be active here.
    Regards, Chris.

    Hey, thank you for the add! You've got a great shelf going. Sometimes, I wonder if running a small library is going to be the bane of my existence, but I wouldn't trade my job for the world!!

    Hi treal! Yes, I'm always in the process of reading The Great Books of the Western World and all the classics I can digest; and I doubt I will ever finish them. I skip around and read the author that enhances other titles or concepts I'm interested in. I'd have to go look at them to list the ones I've read so far...but probably not more than 6 or so. Are you working on them as well?

    Hi again ! ;)

    I guess we both live in areas where nature is out to get us ;)

    I'm such a nerd/dork/geek, that there is no way that I can hide it (if I ever wanted to - which I don't ;).

    -I know the difference between Marvel and DC Comics (and then I'm talking about their publishing differences and character development methods!)
    - I nearly cried when Colonel O'Neill said goodbye at the end of SG-1 season 7
    - some of my favorite series are Firefly, most of the Star Trek mythos, Farscape.
    -I have played D&D (but only once ! ;).
    -I read urban fantasy and I collected comic books for a while... I don't think I have to go on, do I ? :D ;)

    Besides my naiive love for all things amazing, I am also interested in history and politics. I can discuss philosophy and even keep my head from spinning a few times - when things go over my head ;) In my spare time I like to paint with oils, write stories and poetry, read all kinds of books - I have a freakish need to know a little about nearly everything ;) I like to talk (!) and I love watching tv and going to the movies. I have a huge DVD collection that is very eclectic.

    I work as an office drone at a large generic drug company here in Iceland, but that is just my summer job. I hope to finish my Eastern-Asia Studies (Chinese) degree in the next 2 years. But while I have learning thirst... I lack the homework and essay gene :D So, the whole two years might stretch out. But I'm in no hurry ;)

    I live with my dad and my brother, who is younger by 7 yrs. I also have 2 older sisters, and they have given my mom and dad 4 grandkids. I spoil my nephew and nieces rotten, but I'm of course their favorite aunt ! :D

    My dad is disabled after a heart attack, so he went back to school (even though he is already a civil engineer and a carpenter), to study goldsmith. So my brother and I, both work and keep house to help him out. My mom works for an Icelandic construction company. She is currently working in Greenland, managing the office there ;)

    My 3 tattoos are : one big Dragon on my right side, going from my hip bone halfway up my side. Another around my left wrist, a dragon head on the underside with some scroll work going around the wrist. And then I have the symbol for "ambition" on my left shoulder high close to my neck.

    Studying Chinese is one of the more fun things I've done in my life and the first time I've studied something that felt so right with me. I've always had an interest in China and chinese history, so when this program started last fall, I jumped right on it. We were only 11 in the whole department ! I didn't pass my exams this spring semester, so I'm going to repeat them (instead of just retaking the finals) so that I can really grasp what I missed. I tried my best, but I had two jobs, so that messed things a bit ;)

    Ok, I've gone on and on and ... well, told you I liked to talk ! :D And now is your turn ;) Tell me a little bit about YOU ;D
    Is your job interesting, what is it like to live on a "tropical island" ? Did you manage to see "Iron Man" (which I loved!) and are you looking forward to the new Batman movie (I've got the date marked on my phone calendar!) ??? :D

    Take care,

    Maddý

    Hi there travis,

    wow, St Kitts ?! That is way far and removed from anything I've ever experienced ;). I checked what books we have in common... and anyone who has read a comic master piece as "The Long Halloween", is fine by me ! ;)

    I have to add a few facts about me : I am a geek/nerd and proud to be one ;) I have 3 tattoos and plan to get more. I love meeting people from all over the world and learn about different lives :D So, living through hurricane season, that is new to me :D How are you with earthquakes and volcanos ? :D Glad to hear that you like my photo album, I don't often take very good photos, but I'm getting better since I started this flickr account ;)

    Well then, ta ta for now, and we'll talk later ;)

    Maddý

    Hi Treal,
    Welcome to Play Book Tag (PBT) group. Should you have any questions please feel free to ask myself or any other veteren member. Everyone is really nice and helpful. Right now we are finishing up with June's Tag "Africa". We take our montly tag and then we read books about it, set in it, or written by (in this case) African authors. You can read as many or as little as you want. It's up to you. Then we like to share our reviews with each other. Happy Reading.
