Memoirs of a Geisha

I just finished it. Had the day off today to recover from the St Patrick's Parade in Birmingham yesterday and had a chance to get those last 100 pages read. I loved it. Julia, you've been telling me for years and it took me awhile but now I can see why you like it so much! I was really surprised that she ended up with the Chairman in the end. I didn't really expect her to have a happy ending, I suppose because she was forced into many decisions she did not want for herself.


I have to say, I'm sad I'm done with it. Now I have to try to find somewhere that might still be playing the movie!


I'm going to read The Only Dance There is, by Ram Dass next I think. Not sure what to expect really, so we'll see how it goes. I'm also planning to take a look at Meditation for Beginners, by Jack Kornfield, as I have become interested again recently in meditation and Eastern practices.
