angela_oLife has been so crazy lately that I haven't had a chance to update my reading list. I finished this one a little while ago. #23 is The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. A very intriguing look at loss and the impact that grief has on the mind and one's perception of reality. We're discussing it in my Book Group in a couple of months and it should engender some fascinating discussion.
One of the major themes in the book is that you never know when your life is going to change drastically and that's something that I've been thinking about a lot over the last couple of years. Reminds me of the line from Death Cab's "What Sarah Said" (which was one of the highlights of Friday's show), "and it came to me then, that every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time". How true that is. We can plan and hope to our heart's content, but nothing in life is certain.
