Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - created by Jane and currently curated by Francesca,
where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a
pre-arranged theme. If you'd like to join in, please leave a link to
your Corner View post in the comments at www.fuoriborgo.com, and be sure
to visit other participants, too.
I am currently reading Paco's Story by Larry Heinemann for my university course, The Vietnam Experience. While it is a very "heavy" subject, it is proving to be a very good read. (As to the subject matter... hence, the glass of wine, which I consider an educational tool ;-) )
Happy corner-viewing!
p.s. To Nadine - no, I'm not a Buddhist as I don't believe in reincarnation. (I do like the thought though. Then I can have Johnny Depp in my next life.) However, I am at the Buddhist center at least once a week. (I've been taking meditation classes there.) The people are wonderful and I like the general mindset, "Do no harm."

Stories like that need good wine to go down gently;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a read that requires concentration… I cannot bear that in the evening, I have to read such books on the weekend ;-)! Have great week.
ReplyDeleteEducation has a way of exposing us to books we would never read otherwise and of which we are often surprised when the material turns out to be good.:>)
ReplyDeleteExample: my freshmen reading To Kill a Mockingbird and my juniors reading Poe and later in the year Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.
I love your pillow case----so bright and festive!:>)
Wine glass as a communication tool made me laugh :) But this is not wrong!
ReplyDeletehaha!
ReplyDeletei'm impressed by how many things you do heather: meditation, university, work ... (and sommelier-ing!)
I'm with Francesca there. Marvellous, and so spirited, what you are doing to enrich your life. And what a lovely bedroom. I had forgotten how much you love color :-)

I didn't know this book, so, thanks for the discovery... Book and meditation... a perfect world :)
ReplyDeleteI am with you...sometimes new things are good, without having to take them completly "serious". Meditations, books and chocolate ;)
