I have just finished reading the book "Bright Shiny Morning" by James Frey (yes, the guy who botched up when he lied to Oprah about his book A Million Little Pieces- honestly, who lies to Oprah?).
I loved the book. It contained a variety of stories about various characters all living in the city of LA. It switched back and forth between the characters, telling each of their stories in short chapters. It was very well written and kept me interested throughout.
There is one excerpt I really liked where Frey describes people who come to LA in search of surf. He writes:
"All of them find peace and joy alone on the water a serenity contentment to which they devote their lives...It's a dream their life no stress no expectations no ambitions just love something they truly and dearly love that will never leave them, never forsake them. It's sand and salt, water and waves, love."
Though I don't agree with the no stress no expectations no ambitions part, I do like the way he describes the love of surfing and the devotion to it.
Good pic if you're looking for a new read.
