The Little Prince is one of the most meaningful books in my life and I never get tired of reading it. There is also a favorite memory attached to the book &#8212; forty four girls in blue and white uniforms, enthralled as one very special teacher read us the following lines:

I love getting spa treatments &#8212; that little window of time for relaxing and revitalizing is a godsend, whether it&#8217;s a heavenly massage,  beautifying facial, a glam hair treatment, or a foot spa for your aching feet.
One of my recent memorable spa experiences is the Lulur Ken Dedes massage at Win&#8217;s Spa in Batam, Indonesia [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had the Percy Jackson books thrust at me by random people because they know I&#8217;m a big Harry Potter fan, and people who really know me can tell them that the more people foist a book on me the less likely I am to pick it up.

I just saw Tim Burton&#8217;s Alice in Wonderland today, and much like the Sherlock Holmes movie some months ago, it&#8217;s not part of the canon, although it does borrow much of Lewis Carroll&#8217;s  Alice is 19, doesn&#8217;t remember any of her &#8220;Wonderland&#8221; adventures, and falls down the rabbit hole again as she flees from a [...]]]></description>

Shortly after reading Fables, I read another Eisner award-winning graphic novel: Mom&#8217;s Cancer by Brian Fies.
In case you&#8217;re not into graphic novels, Eisner awards are like the Oscars of graphic novels. More formally known as the Will Eisner Comic Industry award, these awards are given in honor of comic artist and writer William Eisner to [...]]]></description>

I must admit that I&#8217;m not a big fan of short story anthologies. When reading fiction, I like full-length novels I can really sink my teeth into, because I like the reprieve they provide from the real world.
Sometimes, though, practicality does get in the way. When you don&#8217;t have the luxury of time (which is [...]]]></description>
