Still reading
I've read six of the nine chapters (Narcissism, Love, Contentment, Attachment, Jealousy, and Fear), mostly because it's an interesting but not compelling subject. Now to read about the other three emotions (Anger, Curiosity, and Playfulness). Now I wonder how the author will deal with Curiosity, which "killed the cat."

Hi Bonnie, I do love cats and stories about them as well. I have read other animal type books by this author but not the one about cats. I just may check it out some time. Hope you are doing well and have had a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these look interesting, hope you enjoy them. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're getting in some good reading. I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAll three of your books sound intriguing. The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats sounds most interesting of the three to me. Cats are a mystery to me even though I had cats for many, many years.
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear more about North to Paradise.
Clicking on the book titles takes you to what I've written before on this blog, but Blogger has made changes (that I hate) that mean it's hard to tell when something is a "blue link" to somewhere else. Here's the info on North to Paradise from an earlier post: "The inspiring true story of one man's treacherous boyhood journey from a rural village in Ghana to the streets of Barcelona."
