A Relaxing Read




"Let books be your dining table, and you shall be full of delights. Let them be your mattress, And you shall sleep restful nights"- author unknown

Reading a good book before you go to bed is a great way to unwind after a hectic day. I began reading books at a young age because I was not allowed to watch t.v. very often. It was then that I learned that reading a wonderful book could transport me to another place and time. As I have grown older, reading has become a time of relaxation and comfort!

Luckily for me, my mother belongs to a fabulous book club that recommends the best books. Recently, she told me to read the book, "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" . When she first told me the name of the book I was somewhat hesitant to purchase it, but once I did I fell in love with the characters!
"The Elegance of the Hedgehog", is an international best seller by the french novelist and professor of philosophy, Muriel Barbery. The main characters within the book provide a double narrative of a concierge, Ren'ee Michel and a quirky young girl named Paloma Josse who develop a relationship through their common intellectual intrests. I really enjoyed reading this book and I hope you do too!

Love, Lili

  3. The Elegance of the Hedgehog is my new favorite book, there is a nice balance of rich characters and subtle plot. I love to see someone else enjoying it- Ive tried to turn all my sisters to it!
