One more of Demi's wonderfully illustrated books, this time of Tibet, it's mountains and its well known spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. It is a story I know, but it was interesting to see how Demi would tell it. The Dalai Lama himself wrote an introduction, so the book has his approval. I like the fact that he was a curious and mischievous boy. I just wonder if they will be able to find the next Dalai Lama, though I hope this one has many more years to live. I did see him in person - in Latvia of all places, with my friend Inta. I wish him well, and his cause.
In January of 2005 I started this blog as a record of books I’ve read as I was afraid I would forget what I have read. I have often referred back to my own blog to remember a book's contents or see what I have read by an author. I have enjoyed passing my books on to friends or recommending books to read. I know I have missed recording some, but in general I try to keep up with what I have read or listened to.
