Drum Roll Please! The winner of My Favorite Book of 2015 is........ The Illusion of Separateness. Yes, I know it's only April and way too soon to pick a favorite book of the year, but I'm sure this one will be among the top choices in December. This little book is awesome! It's the story of six people who live in different parts of the world and at different times. And their lives eventually weave a story of how their lives are connected. And the writing - simple and yet so elegant. It's a style you either love or hate, and I love it.
Here's a quote that I honestly think about when I'm lying in bed trying to sleep:
Falling asleep is like walking out on a frozen lake. The ice gets thinner and thinner until suddenly you fall through.
And here's another one:
We, one day, will be vanquished with a last puff and then nothing at all - nothing but the fragrance of our lives in the world, as on a hand that once held flowers.
You can read this book in a few hours. And you definitely need to do this. -June

I must have been fuzzy-headed when I read the book. So, I read it again. Farrell Jury is still out, but if June says it's a winner, I assume my response is defective. (:-) Buster
