Ortberg, John - Love Beyond Reason

Unfortunately my cover is highly more tacky than this one (with a big blue butterfly) - the bi-line to the title is: Moving God's love from your head to your heart. I don't know if it quite worked in that regard, but it had some interesting principles, fantastic quotes and some surprisingly familiar illustrations. I still haven't worked out where I've heard them from before.
It moved pretty well. I didn't like his 'ragdoll' analogy which was pretty prevailant, probably something generational.
Still, not a bad read, I have heaps of corners folded to chase up the quotes. And there's a thought and a half in each of those.

Keillor, Garrison - Lake Wobegon Days

It's taken me a long time to get through this one. As Mum said, "I read that once, I never really knew what it was about but it was still funny."
I entirely agree.
Very difficult to follow - not a story as such, but hundreds of glimpses into this imaginary yet lifelike 'outback' American town.
Completely hilarious, where the author has taken liberty of using footnotes to add alternate notions and points. The footnotes take a bit of getting used to but are by far the making of the story.
This is apparently a bit of a 'comic classic'. I'm glad I managed to persevere and get the whole. I have no idea even now who the main character really is, despite his narrating and I think pretty constant presence. Well worth the read, but I doubt I'll be picking it up again.
