Review

Mr. g by Alan Lightman

Alan Lightman has written a new book entitled "Mr. g: A Novel About The Creation"

I thought this would be a quirky and/or enlightening read. I was mostly disappointed. The book pretty much starts off as I suspected, God hanging around bored and decided to create something. Through the prompting of his Aunt Penelope and Uncle Deva he decides to create with all seriousness a sustainable universe.

At first the book was a comfortable read, however, Lightman starts off on a super scientific tangent. If one does not know about Physics, chemistry or biology, the reader would be lost. Once man was created the book moved through time quickly with some more interesting 'slice of life' and 'ethical morals' stories. However, there was not enough to hold my interest. I did manage to finish, I just wished it would have been a little more thought provoking and a lot less scientific.

Reading Challenge Stats & Movie Stats so far this year

So far I've read 4 books this year. My goal is 85.  All of these books were non-fiction.  I had promised myself that I would not be reading a lot of non-fiction this year, but all I've read were non-fiction books. The Inflammation-Free Diet Plan Monica Reinagel Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Daniel Amen The Inflamation Syndrome Jack Challem Confessions of a Reformed Dieter A.J. Rochester

I'm not trying to do it, but it is good to see I am.  Although I am missing a period piece, but I've been watching "Downton Abbey-Season 2" which of course is amazingly good.

Thanks Wendy for the B&N app for Lose it. I downloaded it, I will check it out.

Here are my stats thus far:

As long as the numbers are going down...I'm happy.

I am still training for the 5K although it is rough.

Documentaries I've watched on SPRWORD

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days - This film followed a group of Type 2 and Type 1 Diabetics through a 30 Day Raw Vegan Diet at a spa. One by one we watch how this diet transforms their health and life.


Thin - This film follows a group of young women who have eating disorders. It is filmed at Renfrew Center in Florida. A deep dark look into the mind of an anorexic and bulimic. This film takes us from their entry into the facility until they are sent home. We get to see what happens behind these closed doors and their closed doors.


God on the Brain - This was about how people with frontal lobe disorders seem to be more prone to believing they are having religious experiences. They spoke of how some saints of the past may have suffered from this as well as people of today.


Secrets of the Occult - This film was about how the Occult was once popular and then lost its charm during the witch hunts but found its resurgence again in the 1960s. It goes into the lives of Aleister Crowley and Madame Blavatsky.

Cool Documentary Link

I found a cool site that has a bunch of documentaries to watch free on-line.  Some of these are not available to watch on Amazon or Netflix.  Check it out.

Today was W1D2 of my Couch to 5K challenge (C25K).  The running part isn't as awful as I thought it would be, however I am going slow.  Tomorrow is a rest day.  I also added some weights. It is tough to get to the machines, but I managed to get on.

I've only finished one book so far this month.  And it was a book I started last year.  But I'm reading!
