The BFG, Roald Dahl

-
I liked it. There is actually quite a lot of political comment hidden among the hundred and ninety pages. Not much else to say- very good read when you are having the kind of week when your head can't focus.

Young Wives: Louisa M Alcott

-
Awww, what a beautiful book. This is the follow up to Little Women (and basically covers the story as told in the film.. you know the Winona Ryder one). its just so innocent and unassuming. Lovely lovely lovely. Am trying to think which character I most empathise with.. I thought it may have to be Jo- but had an Amy waver for a while before plumping back with Jo.. the way here story ends is just good... Read it.. good for the brain!

In the Name of Jesus: Henri J Nouwen

-
Nouwen is one of my favourite authors: I just totally love his stuff. So when Christine John popped this little number into my hand at New WIne, I lapped it up! Its a little book based on some talks he gave about leadership.. but talks that he had taken one of the L'arche community members to.. in true Nouwen style he looks at leadership in a new way! It will take you about two hours to read, and a lifetime to digest!
