Five Books I am Reading Right Now
Are you the type of person that waits until you finish one thing before you start another? Not me, I currently am reading five different books simultaneously. Some people think this is crazy, but reading multiple points of view has led me to some of my greatest insights. Additionally, it means if I am not in the mood to read one book, there is likely another that fits the mood that I am in. Right now I am in the process of reading five very different books. Here is a quick rundown of them.
The Puma Years by Laura Coleman
I came across this memoir completely by accident with Amazon kindle notified me that there were 10 free downloads available for World Book Day. I found I couldn’t tear my eyes away from this text. The descriptions of the Bolivian jungle are absolutely stunning and the adventure described here is something that is hardly possible to imagine in 2022. In a world that is all about sterilization and safety and prevention, I loved the escape into this place where everything goes. Monkeys sleeping in the dorm beds with humans, taking pumas on walks, and fighting forest fires with their bare hands, the volunteer experience that Laura Coleman experienced was out of this world.
