I believe Heyer captured the sort of clinging, cloying, controlling affection perfectly in Selina.

I quit with great regularity! I feel like I give a book enough of a shot and if I'm not enjoying it, well, life's too short. I was going to quit one just last week, but decided to give it a little more, and ended up being glad I did. <br /><br />As for my current read, I'm really enjoying a non-fiction book, <a href="http://www.streetwisespirituality.org/about.html" rel="nofollow"> Streetwise Spirituality</a> by Carol Marleigh Kline. It gives you "28 days to inner fitness and everyday enlightenment." The book has true stories and exercises to look at shame and blame, spin and all the many, many ways we disconnect from life. (I love books with real-life stories in them, because I find them so easy to relate to.) The author uses the stories to illustrate the 3 fundamental skills that can turn your life around: patience, perseverance and adaptability. The book gives you a lot of common-sense insights from psychology to help you get a handle on what could be holding you back. (That's really important to me right now, as I struggle with that very issue.)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-81725208120490037842010-06-21T02:23:15.093-05:002010-06-21T02:23:15.093-05:00These Is My Words is a wonderful book!
