Fiction / humor

This is the third book I have read from this author. It's a fun weekend read. The book is actually directed at young readers, but the humor is for all ages.

If you are looking for a good laugh and a weekend book try this one.

I guess I can try to write up a real book review someday!

Book Corner - Finished Reading

The Bible - Various Authors
Paperback
1094 Pages
New International Version

This makes my tenth time reading the Bible cover to cover. I start on New Years day and work my way a couple of chapters a day and I always seem to finish mid November.

I'll have to admit that it's not the easiest read always, some of it shall I say is a bit boring and unfortunately difficult to understand, but I always take away something new.

Oatmeal, What A Meal

I remember when I used to hate oatmeal, even the sweet kind with bits of apple and raisins and all that stuff, I never did like the mushy taste. That was then this is now. Now being a much older guy who has had some bad cholesterol numbers in his day.

Initially I was still kind of shying away from oatmeal, Chris bought some plain oatmeal and I added raisins and some syrup and it was okay, but not great.

Then she bought a case of Country Choice Organic Multi-Grain hot cereal which technically isn't oatmeal, but does contain oats. I add some water and put it in the microwave for two minutes then take it out and add some flax seed, raisins and a bit of brown sugar. Delicious! Not mushy at all.

The Amazon reviews are pretty much 5 stars across the board:

I've been eating this stuff everyday for breakfast for the past two months. I'm curious to see if my cholesterol levels have gone down.

Round The City

I was going to the store the other day and couldn't help but notice that on every corner along with the usual bored and underpaid policemen with machine guns now there was mean paramilitary soldiers with machine guns as well. I had to go to a few stores looking for something and sure enough, every corner there was soldiers. I even passed a soccer field and there had to have been ten soldiers that I could see guarding it.

Honestly I have no idea whats going on. Not exactly tourist friendly stuff I imagine.
