A New Year , New Opportunities

    With a new year, comes new opportunities.  A chance to read new books and to rediscover old favorites.   This year, try picking up a book you wouldn't ordinarily read and you may discover a gem in an unlikely place. Then again,  you could try finally picking up that classic you used to love and rediscovery it's genius. 
    I recently came across a book, that admittedly, is not a usual read for me.  However, it's been enlightening and troubling (then again, the really good ones usually are).  The book for those interested was The Light horseman's daughter, by David Crookes.  I will admit that I picked this up quite by accident and figured I might as well read it now that I had it.  I was surprised to say the least. 
    Whether it's this book or any other, may 2012 find you in the company of some unforgettable characters, and thought provoking stories.
