Book Review 2 : Who Ordered This Truck Load of Dung by Ajahn Brahm

I usually don't like stories with morals stated explicitly. However I loved this book recommended by Nithya Shanti. I loved the way one story weaves into another. I also liked the ability of Ajahn Brahm to laugh at himself and on jokes cracked on him as well as the genuineness with which he spoke about some of his embarrassing moments and mistakes.
My favourite story is about the 998 bricks that we usually don't see amidst the 1000 and how we focus on just the two bricks that were wrongly placed.
Thank you Nithya Shanti. I look forward to the next two books you have recommended. One of them has already arrived. Waiting for the other to arrive as I have been suggested to read a chapter from each everyday.
Until then I have started a book written by Mitch Albom - "for one more day."
