Books That Make Me Go....Ahhhh

Every Friday I plan to post a notable excerpt from either a book I am currently reading or have read in the past.  These gems that catch my eye deserve much more notoriety besides being written down on a little sticky note in the front of the novel.

So here is what I wanted to share from Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls:
Dad was a philosopher and had what he called his Theory of Purpose, which held that everything in life had a purpose, and unless it achieved that purpose, it was just taking up space on the planet and wasting everybody's time.

pg. 22

There are so many little excerpts like the one above in this book that I can't help but laugh out loud while I'm reading it.  My book club met on Wednesday night and we unanimously gave this book the highest rating possible.  We all loved it!
