BOOK: The Space Between Us by Thirty Umrigar

Thirty has quickly become one of my favorite authors. i was never one to read books from authors who were'nt black...not on PURPOSE...it just sort of happened that way. i was always under the false impression that african american authors were the best authors. so because of my self imposed prejudice i missed out on sooo much. But lately i have embarked on this love obsession with india. i have dreams of india, i think of india, and indian culture, life in india...its gotten to be quit redivulous. lol. so the past two books i have read , have filled my indian love cup to the brim and over flowed it just a little. but i love licking the edge. loool.

The Space Between Us tells te story of two women, one (Bhima)who is a servent to the other (Sera). and how the lives, although different on the outside arent REALLY that different on the inside, given they are both women in a male dominated country. The book started off kindof slow for me, but due to my OCD-ish twitch of not being able to put down ANY book no matter how TERRIBLE once i'v started reading it , it got better, and i was happy by the middle. However, the ending was a bit of a let down to me, but i believe thats MY personal issue of having to have EVERY movie and book end like a Disney fairytale. sorry.

BOOK: First Darling of the Morning: Selected Memories of an Indian Childhood by Thirty Umrigar

This book is a retellingof th life of the author. in a very candid, whimsical, almost humorous manner, Thirty writes about the pains and joys of a childhood in Mumbai India. I really enjoy her writing style.in just ONE story, she had quickly risen up the ranks to becomming one of my favorite writters. she talks about her obsession wit writting even from early in her childhood. I love people with word obsessions.....they are like me. i am even more drawn to them because i have never met a person face to face with a word obsession, so when i READ about one i am drawn in to them personally.

Children

i LOVE children!! i love evrything about thier beauty, and innocense. I havnt always been this way. I mean, i never DISliked children, but i was also never this in love with them prior to me having Poots. loool. I look at her and er little friends, and i wonder how anyone could hurt them, or abandon them. i think about war torn counties, and those ravaging times in history where children have had to wade the waters for mistakes adults have made. i want to work with children somehow. But i wonder if i am srong enough.
