"Summers In France"

by

Kathryn M. Ireland

Delightful coffee-table-kind of a book.  Beautiful photos, interesting prose,  gathered from near 20 years of summers lived in France.  In the old farm house, which the author renovated, inside and out.

"The Next Wave"

"The Next Wave"  by Catherine Herridge

Written in 2011.  Sooooo...  So how can we say; "We didn't know it was coming!"???

From "Good Reads"...

"TERROR WALKS AMONG US. Born here, raised here, plotting here, the terrorists of al Qaeda 2.0 aim to kill Americans. And our government helps.

Who are the recruits for the next wave? They live next door."

......

Very interesting book, based on investigative reporting, which rings-even-truer, after the Boston Bombing Massacre.  Should any of us have been surprised, at that?  Hardly...!!!!!!!!!

......

Should everyone be more aware, of their surroundings?  Yes!!!  Your life may depend on it.

"The Blue Zones"

"The Blue Zones"  by Dan Buettner

"National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity found in the Blue Zones: places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives."

Yes, another book on how to live a longer, HAPPIER life.  I high-light "happier," because it's not just about living to 110, if the last 20 years are spent in a nursing home.  If we can add years to our life, we want them to be good years.  

So the author and a team, visit these pockets of long-lived people, around the globe.  No particular "Fountain Of Youth" found.  Of course not!  These people are not "youths," later in life.  They are simply healthier, than most of the world.

I like a book, which "whispers" that "It Will Share A Secret With Me".  :-)  Like a little kid, I like to find Secrets.  The author doesn't promise a Secret, but I guess I tend to hope there will be one, hidden inside.   :-)  Not!  There is a lot of wisdom about living.  Sadly, such is hard to adapt, in our weirdly-on-speed-world, though...   But I enjoyed reading the book.

"The Tipping Point"

"The Tipping Point"  by Malcolm Gladwell

For me, an enjoyable non-fiction book, for a change.  Interesting possibilities.   We think we are totally "sailing our own little ship"...  But this book points out, how extremely influenced we are...  Unless we are living off the grid.

I now want to read his "Blink."  (Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking)

It's been too long, since I found non-fiction books, to interest me.  Long ago, that's all I read...  Non Fiction...  Whatever topic interested me, I'd jump into and read all I could on it.  'Till another idea or topic, grabbed my attention.  And I'd be off, reading all I could find, on it.  :-)  

And it worked quite well, for quite awhile.  Don't remember when I veered off, into Fiction.
