March has been an excellent reading month! I was fortunate to have read a variety of books, all of which I enjoyed. How often does that happen? 😉
What seemed to be a Young Adult novel was actually quite interesting and complex. Heather Gudenkauf’s These Things Hidden was a beautifully crafted story with well-rounded characters (look out for the review, coming soon!)

I read Gary Taube’s excellent book titled Why We Get Fat and What to do About It. Debunking the calories in calories out approach to weight loss, he takes a look at nutrition research and the obesity epidemic, making a strong case for a high protein, low carb diet.
Amish Tripathi’s The Immortals of Meluha, part 1 of his Shiva trilogy, was a rip-roaring read! He’s combined legend and stories from Indian mythology and pained Shiva not as a God, but as an ordinary nomad from Tibet. Absolutely brilliant! I’m waiting for the next part with bated breath!
I’m currently reading Kunal Basu’s The Japanese Wife – a collection of short stories. Interesting, so far!
What have you been reading this month?
Reading Thank you Economy from Gary Vaynerchuk. Need to check out the one you mention on Weight. Keep reading

Sounds like an interesting book!
Oh, I’m always so interested in weight loss books, but then I lose the momentum to change my own lifestyle… at some point, I’m just going to have to take some action! This one sounds interesting- especially the debunking of calories in, calories out idea.
Hope this next month is as interesting for you as last!

This one isn’t so much a diet book as a look at the science behind nutrition. It’s written for the layman because people were asking for a simpler book on the subject. (following his Good Calories Bad Calories book).
I’ve made some modifications in my diet based on this book, and I can already feel the difference!
Highly recommended if you want to lose weight!
Wow! Looks like you had a great reading month. I hope April is just as good!
Fingers crossed! 🙂
I’m intrigued by ‘Meluha’ – I wonder if I can get the book(s) over here? On my end, I’ve been reading Living Your Yoga and Long Walk to Freedom (Mandela’s auto-bio). I”m having focus issues though so I think it’ll be a while before I finish that one LOL!
Only the first part is out right now. It’s available on amazon.com for a reasonable price ($19); on amazon Canada it’s priced at C$60! I guess you could check out some other online options too.
I’ve been wanting to read Mandela’s auto-bio, but somehow I’ve never gotten around to it.
I absolutely love it when I hit a good string of several great books in a row!
