Taffy

If you have ever aimlessly sat down to watch poor television or been on a particularly uninspiring date, then you will know the feeling. The feeling of thinking “well, that’s a few hours of my life I will never get back”. Then I suggest a temporary antidote. Mitch Albom’s ‘The five people you meet in heaven’. Delightfully concise it should only claim three to four hours of your life and but I guarantee they will be rewarding. It is not a ground breaking book or one that will change your life. By the end of it people will still be dying and justice, as ever, will still be a distant dream. Yet you will feel better for a short period. One reviewer called it “a gift to the soul”. I think they are probably right.
