Maybe I read it at the right time, I don't know, but the book didn't feel in any way too cute or shallow, I think the advice given was emotionally mature, supportive as well as harsh and often humorous. I also have Wild on Kindle.

Alright, alright. I'll try her out. Maybe Scribd has this one.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-11944195629701280452015-08-01T22:48:03.757+03:002015-08-01T22:48:03.757+03:00Speaking about reading diversely...

Dick in my life - and I think I have a few of his on Kindle, picked up from Amazon sales :) The Man in the High Castle was definitely one. I was surprised how easy he was to read - I'm not sure why I thought it was going to be more of a mind exercise.

Good work reading diversely! :)<br /><br />Concerning sheep: I hated Blade Runner and I adored the book. I think it has something to do with books making sense and the movie not, Reading your post makes me think it's time to bring more Philip K. Dick into my life :)Arenelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646965847129179304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-8576428049929517152015-07-27T19:37:29.537+03:002015-07-27T19:37:29.537+03:00Ah, the elusive 5 star book!
