Power of One

I FINALLY finished Power of One by Bryce Courtney. It ended up being a really good read and I'm glad I stuck with it.

It's the story of a young boy in South Africa and recounts his dreams of being the welterweight champion. It's touching and interesting to watch him mature.

Now I'm on to a much lighter read - Roomates Wanted by Lisa Jewell (as far as I go into chicklit) but I'm still trying to read Profiles in Courage and the Robert Kennedy, Jr book about the environment (he came to speak in Charlotte and I was fired up to know more)

Profiles in Courage and Power of One

I'm reading two books (well really 3 or 4, but who's really counting) - Profiles in Courage and Power of One.

Profiles in Courage isn't what I thought it would be, but I'm sticking with it.

Power of One is a novel set in South Africa. It's interesting but a long read. I'm only about a hundred or so pages in. I don't have anything too enticing on the horizon, so I'm trying to keep going. I hope it'll pick up soon.

Happy Reading....
