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.

Oh Gosh, I thought you had read Memoirs! Sorry if I ruined the end for you!!! It's such a wonderful story though. I can see why Julia has read it like five times!
So, I started this Ram Dass book. While very interesting, I am struggling to get into it at my normal reading time (right before I go to bed). I have to give some real thought as I am reading his lectures. . .I think it is going to have to be a Saturday afternoon in the coffeehouse kind of book. Perhaps this weekend, but as an aside book I going to start Middlesex I think for some light bedtime reading. Or Secret Life of Bees. . .I can't seem to pick a book and stick to it these days!
