This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

The Elegance of The Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery


I cannot believe it ended the way it did! All I feel like asking is: Seriously?! I really loved the way it was written, so different from everything else I have read. If anything it is worth reading for the experience. Such different perspectives and ways of thinking between the two characters.

And then there is the actual topic of the book. The conformity to social expectations due to class and wealth, because wanting more is not worth the trouble of fighting for it. I am not sure exactly why, but I found this book to be inspiring. The struggle to conform versus personal liberation.
