Review: Where Children Sleep

Where Children Sleep by James Mollison

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I really enjoyed this. I understand the limitations the author faced which prevented more of a variety of places and backgrounds, but it was still an eye-opening book, highlighting exactly what it was meant to- the differences in wealth among children and the situations they can be placed in. From cultural and economical standpoints, it's a very interesting book.

Review: Tao Te Ching: A New Translation

Tao Te Ching: A New Translation by Lao Tzu

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This would probably have to go on my list of one of those books everyone should read at least once. Maybe I'm biased from my Eastern Culture, but I feel like it puts forth some very valuable lessons and truths which are still relevant today.

I think maybe the introduction and afterward may put off some people. There's a lot of history there. I'd say, if you don't want to read it, don't. Just read the actual translated book. You'll get the meaning, and there are always notes on certain lines to help. I plan on reading this again when I can take more time with it.
