How interesting, is this a memoir or a novel?

SUmmary;
A solitary woman. A foreign country. An unknown language. An impossible dream' No. With no mission board to support or guide her and less than ten dollars in her pocket, Gladys Aylward left her home in England to answer God's call to take the message of the gospel to China. With the Sino-Japanese War waging around her, she struggled to bring the basics of life and the fullness of God to orphaned children. Time after time, God triumphed over impossible situations, and drew people to Himself. The Little Woman tells the story of one woman's determination to serve God at any cost.With God all things are possible!

"The Illuminatus! Trilogy" by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson

I am on the first book, "In the Eye of the Pyramid"

Finished Hollowland by Amanda Hocking and started Hollowmen (book 2) last night. Already 40% through.

These are not the books you want to read if you're looking for complex plots or characters. Think "Resident Evil" in book form... If you're looking for a kick ass protagonist and lots of gory zombie killing... this book is for you.

Better than Popcorn with heavy butter...

I'm currently half way through 'The Hypnotist: A Novel" by Lars Kepler

It is a Swedish noir-crime-thriller, it was described as "methadone for readers suffering from Steig Larrson withdrawl"

It is very well written & riveting.

Maya Cosmogenesis 2012
The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-date
Author: John Major Jenkins

I like this author, I have read his other books. He is a very adept researcher. He wrote this in 1998, so well before the 2012 CRAZE.

Besides... any book with the word cosmogenesis in the title has my heart all-a-flutter.

I know - GEEK. I am okay with that tho'. I have read many books for many hours to get that distinctive title.

So far, so good. I'm reading this as part of our local library's winter reading program. Also, using it to grow inspiration for this year's garden.
