I just finished reading James Frey?s memoir A Million Little Pieces. I have to admit that never in my life have I been so moved by a book written straight from the heart. Experiencing the journey vicariously with James and going through the emotions of love, hate, fear, anger, regrets, laughter, pain, and hope that life brought him was deep and profound. In this book, James takes the reader to the world of Addicts and overcoming the addictions. However, this book has much more to it than that. It is about coming to terms with one?s fear and insecurities, going forward with what you believe in, forgetting the past and living in the present; it is about friendship that encompasses kindness and trust without any judgements, and above all, it?s about courage and redemption.
A very inspiring read, I highly recommend A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. If you have read it already, please feel free to share your thoughts. Like Michael Schaub said in his review, it IS ?one hell of a book?!!
I haven't gone through it, but I heard that the concept of the piece is so difficult to grasp until you're a serious addict? A plot inside a rehabilitation clinic? Ok, I better read it and put any comments :o!
Thx for the recommendation.
After I watched Oprah's show last week, I am planning to read this book but when I do not know. Well, this was in her book club list so it must be a good book.
Guys you need to read 'The Unknown errors of my life by Chitra benerjee" its like a life pill that you need to take....reads like a bible....we're all sinners...awesome get a hold of that!!
very good. 22 homeward-bound Bhutanese refugees arrested
Bhutanese police on Tuesday afternoon arrested twenty-two Bhutanese refugees of five families living in Beldangi camp in Damak from Phuntsoling after they crossed the India-Bhutan border on their own, in an attempt to return home from Nepal, reports said on Wednesday.
Of 22 arrested refugees, 16 were later handed over to the Indian police, while the condition of the remaining six refugees is not known.
The refugees were returning home under the Volunteer Homeland Return and National Reconciliation Programme, under the banner of Bhutan Gorkha National Liberation Front (BGNLF) and Bhutan Human Rights Organisation (BHRO), the reports said.
Issuing a press statement Tuesday, the Chairman of BGNLF, Tara Mukarung protested the arrest of the refugees and warned that the Bhutan government would be entirely responsible for any dire consequences, if the refugees resort to any alterative ways in response to humiliations perpetrated on them.
The refugees had made similar attempts to return home in the past as well and the Indian police had deliberately stopped them at the Mechi bridge by arresting them, the report added.
The office of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees has been warning that the voluntary return process involves risk. Refugees from the Timai refugee camp, who organised a Satyagraha four days ago, have also announced they would return to their homeland soon. nepalnews.com pb Oct 05 05
Peachy, I think you've heard it wrong. It is written in plain simple language although the style or format is a bit unusual with no punctuations. However, trust me it's real easy to grasp. (one doesn't have to be an addict) :)

Right on Dilasha. Yes, I saw it on Oprah's list as well.
