#19 - Read 25 Non-Fiction Books

4. The Butterfly Garden by Chip St. Clair ( 02/14/08 ) - Fascinating book. The book is a memoir about St. Clair’s life - his father was on the Top 10 Most Wanted List for murdering children. His childhood was incredibly abusive but his ability to overcome everything and help others who are in similar situations is inspiring. (Thanks for the book Becca!)

3. Million Little Pieces by James Frey ( 12/23/08 ) - I debated on whether or not this should be considered a non-fiction but decided to let it slide anyway. Oddly, I was very fascinated by this book. I originally didn’t think that I would enjoy it. The writing style was completly different from anything I have ever read. I do recommend it though. I will have to read his next book to see how it compares.

2. Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (12/03/08 ) - This is a great book. I really enjoyed it and it makes me want to go on the same journey that she did….to visit Indonesia and India, spend time with a medicine man and a guru. What an experience that would be!

1. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom ( 11/02/08 ) - I’ve read this book before but really wanted to read it again. I started reading it for the second time right after I found out my Grandma was about to pass away. It was perfect timing and really made me think about and value the time and memories I had with her. Morrie's advice and wisdom was perfect.
