I’ve got books on the brain, it would seem. I’m currently reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close for book group, and I’m struck by the brilliance of the 9-year old narrator. His voice brings such endearing quirkiness and truth to the story. I think about that a lot, actually. About the brilliance of children. Sunny says simple yet poignantly honest and true things all the time. It’s why some of the best life advice comes from books like Le Petit Prince and Winnie the Pooh. If only we’d listen to the words of our children, and try to recapture their approach to the world – we’d all be much happier. And wiser.

What are you reading these days? Any book recommendations for my group?
