come alive through literature -- and read at least one fiction and one non-fiction work a month

I’ve been having a very enjoyable time reading some wonderful literature this summer. I’ve already read “Who Moved My Cheese?” and “The First Time Leader”. They’re wonderful books! Right now, I’m in the process of reading three more (I like to have options!) I think that the things that you read, and the music you listen to, can really have a significant impact on how you view life. Reading inspirational literature, whether fiction or non-fiction, goes a long way in helping one stay centered and focused on the good in life, without letting the problems and negative people get you down. And I recently stumbled across a new author (connected to one of my all-time favorite writers, Paulo Coelho) who seems to have been heaven-sent to me at this time. What a wonderful way to complement my summer of fun and travel!
