I'm often the first one to be ready when we're leaving for a daytrip, going out for dinner or just doing the grocery shopping. While waiting for the others I bring out something to read and currently  I'm reading a book by Alejandro Jodorowsky, 92 tales of wisdom presenting tales from all different cultures, hindù, chinese, oriental, sufi and hebrew among others.  Original title La sabiduria de los cuentos, 2006.
