This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.
This is not something I would be interested in, however, this is right up my hubbie's ally. I think I will look into this book for him. Thanks!
And just an update: I'm okay. Not great, not terrible. Just okay. I'm not where I should be mentally but I'm trying. Keep those prayers up for me please. I'll know things are better when I pick up my camera again. Right now, I have absolutely NO DESIRE for my photography and that's always a bad sign. LOL.
Sound a bit like Logans Run, right? Haven't read it but I might put it on my list. Just finished reading "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. A classic but kind of out there...
My daughter's class read it in fifth grade ( six years ago ) and she still recalls it being thought provoking. isn't it cool how writing/ authors can have such an impact?
Yep, I read The Giver. I wasn't as blown away by it as many others; perhaps because it's YA, although I doubt that is the entire reason.
More to the point, I read a lot of Dystopian lit. I really like it. And compared to many of the others, this fell short for me. Perhaps because it has to be a bit less complex and meaty, given the age level of the intended reader. I'm not sure.
For someone new to dystopic lit, it's a FAB entree, though. I hope you love the rest of it as much as you've loved the start.
I'll have to mark this book for when my daughter is just a bit older. She is 6 now but I think she would like something like this very soon. Thanks for the tip...
Also, thanks for stopping by Hu-Flung-poo. Swing by for some squid anytime...
I'm pretty good, David. Just starting the woodstove part of the year. You should have scrolled down a few days and saw my post on the log splitter. We're splitting logs and the price of the splitter with my son Josh. I have an action video of it too.
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

Unfortunately, I have not read it.

Michele sent me to tell you that I've never heard of the book, but I'll check out the link, of course.
Hope your Friday is going well.

I haven't read it yet, but it looks like a great book to add to my list for this coming summer.
