Ellen's New Book Picks: 'Heart of the Matter' and 'Oneness with All Life'

heart of the matter by emily griffin

"Heart of the Matter": In her latest novel, author Emily Griffin tells the story of pediatrician Nick Russo and his wife, Tessa. While caring for a badly injured young patient, Nick soon finds himself falling for the child's mother, Valerie. Alternating between the point of view of Tessa and Valerie, the novel follows a compelling story that explores the complexities of love and relationships.

oneness with all life by eckhart tolle

"Oneness with All Life": From the famed spiritual author, Eckhart Tolle, this new book follows up his previous work, "A New Earth." After exploring how our ego-based consciousness works in "A New Earth," Tolle picked key phrases to guide readers to an awakening of the consciousness. Learn to recognize your ego and attachment to things, the past, and enemies.

I don't see many 'fun' books in your online list. Do you prefer to read the non-fictional stuffy, take care of yourself, spiritualistic books? Or are you a secret 'fun' book reader (in which case, I will not let the cat out of the bag). I'd love to get your opinion on so many fictional books. Maybe you should start a book club (with a twist, of course (don't want to step on any toes)).

Have you read the "Millenium" seris by Stieg Larsson (Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, etc)? Amazing.

This summer: some non-fiction: Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth, Drive by Daniel Pink.

Ellen, I loved Heart of the Matter. In fact Emily Giffin's other books are also a treasure...and worth the late night reads. You should have her on your show one day! If you do...I want to be there with my two favorite people! You and Emily!

"Heart of the Matter" is a terrific read. I recently met Ms. Giffin at a book signing and was overwhelmed with her charm and wit. I'm looking forward to seeing more from her in the near future.

Ellen, thanks for the summer reads!! I read Eckhart Toole's "A New Earth." It was extremely enlightening. I look forward to reading "Oneness With All Life." "Heart of the Matter" looks interesting as well.
Thanks!
Best,
Yvonne Dagger

Thanks for sharing. I read Eckhart Tolle's, A New Earth after you listed it and loved it. I can't wait to read this one. Thanks again for sharing.

HIGHLY recommend Scent of the Missing. A true story about a woman who does search & rescue with dogs (and a team) and then raises/trains a puppy to do search & rescue. Excellent writing style. Not only should you read it, you should have them on your show.

Hi Ellen, I was watching America's Got Talent last night & heard this male vocalist with the most AMAZING voice!!! I kept thinking his voice sounded familiar & realized his sound was similar to Michael Bolton!!! My husband agreed... Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name but he sang toward the end of the show, he was wearing a hat, played the guitar & sang Jerry Vale's 1st hit song: "You Don't Know Me"... I'd say he was in his 20s... He comes from poor roots & he totally impressed me!!! I used to be a professional singer back in the day & as you, I appreciate good music & a great voice to accompany it!!! I know you recently started a new record co. & thought if you could get to hear this young man you'd agree with me!!! I hope you get a chance to hear him!!! Take care & best wishes, ALWAYS, Helene~~

Reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Takes place in Mississippi during the 60's.

Ebert has me reading author Ayn Rand: Anthem, Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged.
