Something happened earlier this year - I started reading for leisure. Given that I pretty much read all day, every day, reading was never high on my list of things to do away from the office. But, for whatever reason, I started. I started with Into the Wild, moved on to The Lovely Bones, Wicked... and a few truly crappy worthless books (Dinosaurs on the Roof, anyone?)
But now I'm reading - and for the purposes of full disclosure, have not yet finished - What is the What, by Dave Eggers. Eggers wrote it in conjunction with Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee from southern Sudan.
It is a truly remarkable story, and if you're ever interested in putting your money toward something good, check out his foundation. This foundation has absolutely nothing to do with animal welfare, animal rescue or animals in general, so you know it must be pretty extraordinary to catch my attention.
Later, Taters.
