One Fifth Avenue
I heard a few people say that the daylight savings change caused them to sleep in this morning. The time change was not my problem. I stayed up into the wee hours reading. I am so engrossed in a book and had problems making myself put it down and get some sleep. I am reading One Fifth Avenue by Candace Bushnell. Candace is the author of other popular books that include Sex In the City and Lipstick Jungle. Those big names ought to tell you why I had trouble closing the book last night.
I am caught up in the story line that involves power and money. It also has romance although the type of romance in the book is contrary to any I would want involvement in. Romance in the big city seems to be contrived and manipulative. I find myself rooting for the underdog at the moment although, who knows after I turn the page, who I will be cheering on next. This book has so many twists and turns that I have even been shocked. Even Sam, the youngest character is not beyond reproach. He caused a big ruckus to the tune of a loss of $12 million dollars! You have to read this book. It fits perfectly in our country’s time of economic woes where hedge funds are being questioned and the rich are looked upon as sinister. Get comfy when you start this book. You will not want to put it down!

I would say, reading a book is more thrilling and interesting than watching a movie. Through reading makes our mind sharp too.

That sounds like a book I’d enjoy. I like anything that is true to life and has an edge to it.

The book was amazing. I picked up the book thinking it would be similar to a Sex and the City episode and found it completely opposite. Candace Bushnell floored me with every chapter. Intrigue, passion, and feeding everyone a taste of the society we see, but know that a majority will never touch or feel in a lifetime. However, this book makes you grateful for everything you may not have, because even with owning the world you can and more than likely will lose everything including yourself. This book is spectacular and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
