Carlos Elgueta celguetar — The poetry of Kahlil Gribran is beautiful, rich, wise, and insightful. Some passages that I particularly liked: On Work: "Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste,it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For is you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger." On Joy and Sorrow: "Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy." Finally, on Teaching: "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it... For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth."

Angie Di angdipi — I loved this book. For being written in early 1900, the feminist ideology and the insights on societal conformance of gender roles sadly remain as relevant today as they were 100 years ago. It's also neat to read about NYC in the old days, when 5th Ave. by the Met was still a dirt road, and Washingon Sq. Park was the tony neighborhood. It has a strong plot, it's well written, and very easy to get into.

Pilar Gimenez pilargimenez — Michael J. Fox goes over what has been going on in his life over the past 10 years. From work, politics, faith, and family. The best part, which I wish was longer, was stories on his family. And its a great thing when President Obama allows his dream to come true for stem cell research.

Mehdi Jamaleddine medoraja93ff3d — we meet a beleagured husband of three bickkering wives (and posssibly 26 children) who become more and more demanding of him. As he leaves his mistress and a week of working on the road, he finds himself at a crossroads. The book finds him questioning how he feels about his family, job, children and lifestyle through a critical eye. There is humor in some of the situations he finds himself, but mostly we follow his jagged journey as he makes several wrong turns to a final conclusion. It took a while for me to get into the story and sort out the characters. The book picked up for me after that and I in turns found myself, sympathizing, criticizing and confused by the main character. I look forward to reading other revietws for another perspective.
