Let's see, I haven't written in a while about my latest hobby: reading. I think I left off talking about beginning my 5th book, called "Origin" by Diana Abu-Jaber. Update: finished it. Isn't that exciting! Began reading #6 and #7 simultaneously, almost. They are "Playing For Pizza" by John Grisham and "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin. A fascinating, astonishing and uplifting story about a real-life Indian Jones and his remarkable humanitarian campaign in the Taliban's backyard. To quote, "Here (in Pakistan and Afghanistan) we drink three cups of tea to do business; the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join our family, and for our family we are prepared to do anything --- even die." I highly recommend it, even though I'm not quite done yet. The goal is to read 9 books during my Sayulita stay. I am sipping a nice cup of white tea as I write this, fyi. Cheers, mate! And enjoy another Sayulita sunset.
