    Hi, I'm done reading with one of the books of Mitch Albom. Everyone will love his books especially if you will try to read one its best , " The Five People You Meet in Heaven". You know, It will help you change your views about life after death. My next will be " Have a Little Faith"

    Re-reading the original uncut edition of Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. It's not my favorite work of his, but it's up there, in part because of his tear-jerking description of the sculpture "The Fallen Caryatid Carrying her Stone" by Auguste Rodin.
