So I just bought a gift for Alan and Jessica; I am so excited for them to get it. I got them a book--I want it myself. I might go back to the bookstore and buy another one. I'm still going to get a few children's books to stick in the package for the girls. After Christmas I'll tell you about the book, but I can't tell you now because it might ruin the surprise for them :o)
Eric and I read together on Saturday. It was a book he's reading for his Russian literature class. I liked it. It had beautiful imagery.
We're going to read a book together next semester, which I'm excited about.
I haven't read much lately, unless you count text books... Although I have been working through a book about POWs in the Phillipeans during WWII. Really interesting. I'm not really a fan of the writing; it was coauthored and one of the authors was a PI lawyer. Not exactly a seasoned writer. He uses lots of cliches and such. But the material makes up for his authorial deficiencies. I had no idea about the Death March there and the atrocities of the Japanese military against their POWs.
I'll tell you more about it once I've finished it. I hope to get through it during Christmas break, but we'll see.

About Me
- Cindy
- I love new things and old things. I'm easily pleased but picky about the standards of the people I surround myself with. I like local bands and the music of pop stars. Got me figured out yet? My life's a patchwork of interests and I like it that way--don't tell me to make up my mind.

I like books ;-) and I'm glad that we will be reading next semester too.
You guys should read something really life-changing together, like The Giving Tree. It might take you awhile to make it through, but keep at it and you'll learn a really great lesson about being unselfish. E & A & I read it together recently. Wow.
:o)
Yay for reading! Thanks to parents & grandparents that kept the Washburn kids well-supplied!
Cindy, you should ask Uncle John to tell you about his experience with the reenactment of the Bataan Death March while we lived in the Philippines. He'd love to talk about it!
I'm glad you are finding time to read things. I know that you are faithful with the scriptures. But it feels good to read other things, too, and I am trying harder to fit reading that is entertaining besides all the educational and spiritually uplifting things I yearn to include in my life.
