For my book reading readers, I decided to write some short
book reviews. I’ve never really written
a book review per se, so I don’t really know if there is a specific
formula. So I’ll pretend we are at
Starbucks sipping our favorite drinks, grandesoymochanowhip for me, and tell
you what I thought about the most recent book I read.
Wouldn’t Take Nothing
For My Journey Now is a very short, reflective book by Maya Angelou. I love Maya’s poetry. (Notice how I called her Maya? That’s because she feels like a friend.) I love this book because it has one of the
same qualities of poetry that I enjoy.
It is the essence of wisdom she has learned throughout her life. It isn’t a long expository or biography. It is the boiled down “stock” of her wisdom
on being a woman, love, loss, and many other topics. She doesn’t carry on about it all; she says
it plainly in two pages and then moves on to the next chapter. Short and sweet. Like a poem.
Get this book and put it aside for an afternoon
when you want to indulge yourself while also learning something good and
wholesome and right. Bring a highlighter
and a cup of tea and tune out the world for an hour to enjoy this great read.
