Boarder line out of the ordinary... maybe

While in the airport I bought a book form one of the terminal kiosks. My choices were limited to the new Steven King (only available in hard back, with the outer dimensions of a calculus text book), various romance novels with people hugging and/or ponies on the cover, science fiction aliens, history of World War 2, and a NY Times best seller by an author I haven’t heard of titled The Accidental – with an intriguing picture of a girl holding a video camera on the cover. I needed something to read during my nine hour lay-over and The Accidental seemed to be my best bet.

Now having finished the book (it really was quite good), I’m thinking I need to read more books outside of my usual domain; that being action, murder mystery, eastern thought, religious philosophy types.

I picked up a new book from Boarders titled Middlesex. It caught my attention because it had an s – e – x in the title. It looks to be another best seller and I’m really excited to get started with it. Check out the Time’s review, My Big Fat Greek Gender Identity Crisis, the book definitely has some potential on the out of the ordinary front.

Just in case I it gets a little too out side of my comfort zone I also picked up The Te of Piglet (which I’ve been meaning to read for some time now), the sequel to The Tao of Pooh (which I would highly recommend).

… and because it’s my blog, and I can do what ever I want here, here is an excerpt from The Tao of Pooh:

"Just How do you do it, Pooh?"
"Do What?" asked Pooh.
"Become so Effortless."
"I don't do much of anything," he said.
"But all those things of yours get done."
"They just sort of happen," he said"

And one more (from the cover) just for good measure:

"While Eeyore frets ...
... and Piglet hesitates
... and Rabbit calculates
... and Owl pontificates
...Pooh just is."
