Book Review - Which is More Round, the World or Your Tummy? Offbeat Reflection on Serious Living

By Cherie Davidson

"Dance with me so I can show you the way to get gloriously lost in the forest."

This charming quote from the book, "Which is More Round, the World or Your Tummy," is a great introduction to the delightful dance of words found on every page. The author, Leslie Miklosy, lets his prose twirl and play, dance and giggle, hit and run. I found reading his book to be a thoroughly engaging and enchanting experience that made me smile, think, nod, and even scratch my head a little now and then.

Once you open the cover, you will find a book that is fast and easy to read if you choose, yet if you prefer to read it slowly and thoroughly, you will have a greater appreciation of the writing skill and talent of this writer. "Which is More Round, the World or Your Tummy" is a completely original, quizzical, fanciful little book packed with serious delights for the mind, heart, soul and ... funny bone.

I recommend this imaginative and insightful collection of original quotes, musings, poetry, philosophy, observations and thoughts to anyone who likes to read for mental stimulation or for plain entertainment. "Tummy" covers such a wide variety of topics that I cannot imagine anyone not finding something to thoroughly enjoy.

If thoughts are nourishment of the mind and words are food for the soul, then Mr. Miklosy has written a delightful side dish of life. I hope there will be a second helping in the future!

"Which is More Round, the World or Your Tummy" can be found at Amazon.com and BN.com (Barnes & Noble).
