The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On by Dawn Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book I've read by Dawn Eden and it was well worth it. She makes a very cogent argument for (the real meaning) of chastity--and for keeping oneself for marriage (whatever has happened previously--yes, there's always time for a new start with God's mercy!). With her experience, she makes a solid case for why she wishes she'd done things differently before she turned her life over through a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This is counter-cultural stuff, for sure, as it runs against the widespread trend and normal practice (at least in the West) to have causal sex before commitment in life-long marriage. A cheapening, a deception, a ruse, that only leads--as Eden says--to a more dislocated & lonely existence.

Selection Day by Aravind Adiga
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

My 2nd Aravind Adiga book--I'd have to say I liked the first one, White Tiger, better. But, since I've been learning more lately about the game of cricket & its players, there were some enjoyable things about this fictional tale. Listened to this audiobook on my iPhone; borrowed from the library.
