i just go it today in the mail its called good indian wife. did not start reading it I have whole list on reading social what I have read and did not read if anyone wants to see the list I will post the link here if you like.
I'm currently reading
"A New Earth," by Eckhart Tolle.
I'm big on Metaphysical studies and such,
but the buzz on this book as well as its
counter part book like "The Secret," has
been tempting for quite some time.
"A New Earth," is certainly an eye opening glance into yourself. No matter who you are, and what you've done and not done....you are sure to find something worthy of your reading time within this book.
BTW, great suggestions on here.
Thanks people!

Amazon.com Review
Everyone loves a good fable, and this is certainly one. The protagonist is Julian Mantle, a high-profile attorney with a whacked-out schedule and a shameful set of spiritual priorities. Of course it takes a crisis (heart attack) to give Mantle pause. And pause he does--suddenly selling all his beloved possessions to trek India in pursuit of a meaningful existence. The Himalayan gurus along the way give simple advice, such as, "What lies behind you and what lies before you is nothing compared to what lies within you." Yet it is easy to forgive the story's simplicity because each kernel of wisdom is framed to address the persistent angst of Western white-collar professionals. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Started reading The World Without US by Alan Weisman. Very interesting thought experiment about what would happen to the world if all humans died tomorrow.
I'm reading "The Old Testament Story" by John H. Tullock, "Barbarians" by Tim Newark, " The Worlds Of Medieval Europe" by Clifford R. Backman, and the NIV version of The Bible.
