2012 New Years Resolutions

What is this business of new years resolutions? Because during the holiday season that s all people talk about. But I want to know why people have to wait for the new year why cant they just change now. Why put it off.

the things they carried

I started this new novel called the things they carried which is about this one mans story about how he felt about the Vietnam war. In the begining chapters he begins to discuss how he wanted to jump the boarder to Canada to avoid being drafted but he was drafted anyways. But what sticks in my mind is the fact that he had a girlfriend in the states but he could not connect with her because they were living in two different worlds. With soldiers coming home from the Iraq was do you think they feel excluded from our society? Why or why not?

Over the last few years I have been reading the Jodi Picolt series of books which tend to be really good. I have been talking to other people that have read her books and I am trying to figure out if all her books are the same and are getting repetitive. What's your opinion?

a lesson before dying 1

Something that I want to discuss about this book is can you really turn a man that has been looked at on as a pig and thats how the whole town views this black man in the Jim Crow south. Is there really a point to this and how will Jefferson benefit from this.

A lesson before dying

This whole book talks about dying and how to help others thats fine asn all.. but I feel that we should all have an impact on someones life or do something that will benefit at least one person before we die. Because it seem like the small things that we think are not significant actually are significant and actually do mean something that is what really sticks out in death. What will you be remembered for in life?

I found it odd that Anitas boyfriend of 5 years was gunned down by some people from his neighborhood. But I also find it shocking that right men were offering more then than their condolences at the funeral.
