I just finished reading Elizabeth Gilbert's The Signature of All Things and Daniel Abraham's The Widow's House. I liked Gilbert's book a lot, but have a feeling that I might not have liked it as much had I not listened to it as an audio book read by Juliet Stephenson. Abraham's book is the fourth in a series of five and while I binge read the previous three and couldn't wait to read this one, I found it slow and overly didactic compared to the previous books. I'm really hoping he saved the best stuff for the last book because there needs to be an epic ending to this saga!
Now I'm reading Radley Balko's Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces and Ann Patchett's Truth and Beauty.
Music Head, knowing your sensibilities, I think you might actually like Gilbert's book and it's characters. It's set in the 19th century, and the female characters are good Dutch women!

Everyone has an Angel: a Guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day, old man. Next day, little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they're not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from our heart. Reminding that it's us: it's everyone of us who holds power over the world we create. -Sweet Pea
