I am a reader and book evangelist. For many years I have kept a reading journal with little descriptions of the books I read and dates I read them. Kind of a trail of book bread crumbs that chart my interests over a given course of time. This blog gives me a way to continue my journal and share my reading interests with others. My latest adventures in creating, dining, and traveling can be found at my website LindasOtherLife.com

Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo
This was a suggestion from Mary Pat Murphy, my yoga teacher. It is a road trip book about a man named Otto Ringling, who travels to North Dakota to take care of his parents estate following their deaths in an auto accident. He had assumed his psychologically "interesting" sister would be making the trip with him, but she was busy investigating past lives of her clients. Instead, she sent her guru, Volvo Rinpoche, along for the ride. I found the book especially interesting because they visit Chagrin Falls and a few other Ohio sites on their cross country trip, which, of course, softens Otto and helps him see the landscape through new eyes.
