This week I got a copy of Mindstore to read.
I love self-help books. There, I said it. Is it just me?
When I found my dad’s tattered copy of Norman Vincent Peale’s (gets up off sofa to check title) “The Power of Positive Thinking”, I get this from somewhere.
My dad was Mister Self-Improvement when he was positive. He joined Toastmasters in his seventies and got a computer. I miss him.

A Map of the World. by Jane Hamilton
I took this book on holiday with me and read it in the first three days, I should have brought more of my books with me.
It was pretty good, but then most Oprah Club books are pretty readable.
