A lighter reading suggestion this weekend. It is the long weekend, afterall. "Please Look After Mom" by Kyong-suk Sin is a heart-wrenching read for anyone who has a mother. You will never look at her the same way again. So often, I think, we do not realize that our own mothers have a life and interests and passions and thoughts beyond caring for their families. This book is interesting in that it is written in the 2nd person (I've never read a book in the 2nd person before, have you?) and tells tales of "mom" through the eyes of her loved ones. "Mom" disappears one day after getting off the train and gets lost. The book then, retraces mom's steps according to the people who supposedly know her best. Truly, a fascinating read.
Whatever you do, where ever you are, enjoy your weekend!
