Couldn't get past the first chapter. I just took this Discovery course through Benchmark and wow, I hear the "I'm a Victim!" in everything and that is so not useful, productive, or good.

Committed: A skeptic makes peace with marriage
by Elizabeth Gilbert
The second book after Eat, Pray, Love. Boy, am I glad I never saw the movie on the first one.
This, however, was a fast, quick and slightly entertaining read. Marriage is just another box and this box happens to reside on a roller coaster sometimes.

The Night Circus
by Erin Morgenstern
Entranced until p. 37. Always my stumbling block, I wonder about the intent of authors who write with such ease about relationships between men and women starting so swiftly and seemingly without much care -as if there were no baggage, strings or mixed emotions involved.
The story is engaging and I enjoy the feeling of my mind humming with potential threads.

The Language of Flowers
by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Exquisite, 83 pages in. Ugh, page 84.
The layout of the story, building like perfectly shaped ice blocks, has just shifted and now it melts. Boo.

Peace is the Way
by Deepak Chopra
Just able to get through three pages of this one. My focus is not headed in this direction currently and, from what I already know of human nature and the aspect of peace on us, I seriously doubt by my reading this book will I swerve the conscious and unconsciouses needed to proclaim any person fully and truly at peace long enough to make changes for all.

Love is a Four-Letter Word: True Stories of Breakups, Bad Relationships, and Broken Hearts
Edited by Michael Taeckens
Of the many authors who have contributed or were amassed together for this book I now know of a few that I would skip in the future and others who I would take a second look at. Having this one theme as a focus gave me the space to think on what I would write and, once those thoughts clouded my head, the more pressing thoughts of why I would skip this assignment. I found many to be navel-gazing without imparting much significance for others to glean from. This, alone, was good for me to understand.
