Tgut's review of
Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1) byOrson Scott Card
Aaron totally wants to name our first born Ender. I hope it's a boy.

to: Dry: A Memoir (Paperback)byAugusten Burroughs bookshelves: done-read--non-fiction
Read this after completing a long job, longer party streak. And it was part of my segue into a healthy lifestyle. Burroughs is charming, humorous, real, fun, honest. And a hoot to see speak in person. This is my favorite of his books. It helps you honestly look at your relationship with alcohol and consider whether or not you want to break-up.

to: The Tipping Point (Paperback)byMalcolm Gladwell bookshelves: done-read--non-fiction
It's cool - but I had previously read Freakonomics so I was already exposed to the savvy irony or introspection on crime, sneakers, etc. I liked reading it though once the wave had passed.

to: Altared: Bridezillas, Bewilderment, Big Love, Breakups, and What Women Really Think About Contemporary Weddings (Paperback)byColleen Curran bookshelves: done-read--non-fiction
Entertaining read, short essays on the nightmare of being a non-traditional girl planning a wedding surrounded by traditional people. It was good enough - but no aha moments that I saved for my wedding plans.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13734593
to: Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood (Hardcover)byKaren Maezen Miller bookshelves: done-read--yoga-meditation-books
I thought this would be a helpful forecast of how to manage motherhood and zen-like behavior. It is written by a Zen priest. But all I recall is that she was really tired. All the time. So it didn't give me the insight I was looking for..you know researching motherhood like 5 years in advance. What a libra. I digress.
