The Art Of Living looks interesting
It's brilliant, i've already begun applying it to my everyday life situations and outlook in general.My mums boyfriend got it from India, don't think you can buy it in shops over here, it says on the back 'For sale in the Indian subcontinent only' Amazon has it though.

i want to read beyond ugly, the excerpts at the end of her first book seemed goodi recently read "from caucasia, with love", it was excellent, i'd thoroughly recommend it. it's about two mixed race sisters born to political activists in 1970's america. when all the race riots were happening, the whole family basically had to go on the run, one sister fleed to brazil with her black father and the other lighter skinned sister stayed in boston with her white mother, and was made to pass as white, given a new identity, etc. it's really interesting book.. i'm currently reading her second book "symptomatic"31MxvESe3CL._AA240_.jpg41Q7CCM1GJL._SS500_.jpgwould also recommend "on beauty" by zadie smith, another really good read.. i preferred this one to white teeth. it's basically a story about two families, one in london and one in america, and how their lives become intertwined.512rl7UdNlL._SS500_.jpg

Hardly have time to read these days... but I'm in the middle of readingThe God Delusion By Steven DawkinsWhats ''Beyound Ugly'' Saying Helen? I read the first one and it was aiiiite.
Well i'm in 4th chapter now, it's alright, she's older going Uni, struggling with the whole ugly thing, nothing much really to comment on yet. What's 'God Delusion' saying? just read an extract, looks right up my street, especially at this moment in my life.
