I relish that. <br /><br />As much as reading some stuff from a website or a twitter feed. Hmm...well, actually, I relish reading a book more. <br /><br />Need to do more of it Kavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426040093753611098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-68553894744408252052013-12-04T07:46:46.730-05:002013-12-04T07:46:46.730-05:00Right now, I am reading Ruth Ozetki's "Al...Right now, I am reading Ruth Ozetki's "All Over Creation"... Wow, it's about a Amerasian/hapahaole/Half Japanese half white female growing up in Idaho dealing w/her potato farmer father and Japanese mother... its an eye opener not only if the reader is Asian/ part Asian/ is a relative to a potato farmer/ a potato farmer... This is one author I am going to always read... She's a first time author who I have read that seems to know how to show her characters' feelings, thoughts, personalities... before this, I read 12 Years A Slave... U would get an eye opener w/ this one, C. I could go on, once I start reading, it seems I can't stop... its addicting- I am learning a lot.. Writing has changed and so has my taste in what I read.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.com
