Good tips to how to cope with a second child and how to make your life easier. Also great tips on how to prepare and handle the first child's jealousy, demands and needs.  | | | | | Wow wish I had found that 5 months ago.
We have just had our second. Wonderful but unbelievably crazy!

AMAZING book. Very meaningful. (Y) | | | | | One of my all time favourite books. Read it at school for the first time and it is the only book I remember from school. Also remember the movie with Gregory Peck - it was really good too, but not quite as good as the book.
Just got given the last 3 books in the Thomas Covenant series - anyone read these? Are they worth the effort? (I really liked the first chronicles, thought the second were ok.)

Hemingway's " A Moveable Feast"
It's about his time in Paris where writers, painters and all sorts of artists met in Cafés.
Has some very funny incidences in that little booklet,
like when he met Scott Fitzgerald and Scott wanted his temperature taken there, in the hotel ...   |

Started reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck a while ago, haven't had much time for reading so not far in but seems excellent. Deserves it's reputation as a great.

Just started "Tales of Old Japan" by Agernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford Redesdale (what's with this oddly long name?), a free eBook distributed by The Gutenberg Project. Renewing my interest in Japan and martial arts. The first story about the 47 Ronins is already quite worthwile!

Just finished Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret". Easy reading and refreshingly honest in reminding one to think positive despite the every day grayness and routine. Recently finished Paolo Coelho's "The Devil and Ms. Prim".

The Sistine Secrets
It's a fascinating book about Michelangelo's paintings and the codes, messages and sometimes insults he left in his art.
It really takes you by surprise.
I can't put it down. It's one of those all-nighters, you keep reading and reading and think: mmmmm I'll turn off the light at 1 am, no mmmm... 2 am

This is a childrens book with a message that adults too could learn from - especially those in zurich(!)
It is the story of a boy who is always in a bad mood and doesn't understand anything about being happy. Complains about everything. Then the "happiness fairy" is sent to help.
She makes him sit on a rooftop in stead of his warm snuggly bed. Afterwards he appreciates his bed.
She takes away his morning cocoa, and then takes away his ability to see colours. Of course when these things are returned to him he begins to appreciate them.
Unfortunately cant seem to find it in English.

Read the 2nd one (could not find the 1st one so read the synopsis). If you love the 1st and 2nd Chronicles like I do, it was a welcome return to The Land. Have not read the 3rd and the final one is not out so can't comment, but I would go for it. A little fantasy can't hurt!
