Booktown Mystery Book 1

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Excellent bookish mystery and the first book of which I hope becomes a long running series. How you not love a small town in NH that has been revitalized by turning main street into a group of specialty bookshops.

The Upanishads by Swami Paramananda

The Upanishads by Anonymous

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I actually read the Project Gutenberg release of this classic Indian text on Hinduism. It's a short 17,000 word translation by a Hindu mystic that visited Boston in 1909. Even though the translation is 90 years old it brought the message of the text to life for me, and the insightful commentary by the translator helped to get the message across of the book.

I'm a sucker for animals and books, the two combined make for a great emotional read for anyone who loves animals and has ever lost one you'll be crying for Vicki Myron before the end of the book. Dewey even though I never met you, I'll never forget you.
