The image of Gertrude Stein wailing to Alice B. Toklas, "Don't, pussy, please don't, pussy" has retained space in my brain for 25 years, thanks to this book.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Johnathan Unleashed
 

I'm enjoying chuckling my way through Johnathan Unleashed, a short novel by Meg Rosoff.

"A wise and witty hit...Rosoff explores how twenty somethings find their feet in the big city, face up to the horror of entry-level employment, and figure out who they really love..A loveable novel that has the power to make readers of all ages laugh."

Tartine Bread-by Chad Robertson

I won't be reading much for leisure for the next 4 months because I'm working on another MS but I'm about to finish "The Story of O" and it's pretty amazing.

Another light lesbian fluff romance

Winter's Harbor by Aurora Rey

The post on "What are you reading".

I could never get into this book. I tried several times to read it. I finally forced myself to read all of it yesterday. I didn't really enjoy it.

My book club book of the month: As Close to us as Breathing. It's not as good as I'd hoped for, but it's okay.

I usually have a few books going at a time but the last couple back up books I started didn't keep my interest.

Before this I plowed through the YA Life as We Knew It series for light summer apocalypse reading.

I'm making sure my travel plans are in order, for Labor Day weekend. To make sure I haven't overlooked or forgotten anything. :)

I am still reading Tartine Bread, and tonight The Golden Bough too.

Midnight in Berlin by James MacManus

What's that about? I'm a big book rat...

Nothing right now but I want to find a book I can get into.

Berlin in the spring of 1939. Hitler is preparing for war. Colonel Noel Mcrae, a British diplomat, plans the ultimate sacrifice to stop him. The West’s appeasement policies have failed. There is only one alternative: assassination. The Gestapo, aware of Macrae’s hostility, seeks to compromise him in their infamous brothel. There Macrae meets and falls in love with Sara, a Jewish woman blackmailed into becoming a Nazi courtesan.Macrae finds himself trapped between the blind policies of his government and the dark world of betrayal and deception in Berlin. As he seeks to save the woman he loves from the brutality of the Gestapo, he defies his government and plans direct action to avert what he knows will be a global war.Inspired by true events and characters, James MacManus’sMidnight in Berlin is a passionate story that will leave you in awe of the human capacity for courage, sacrifice, and love set against a world on the brink of war.

I just started it today but so far I am enjoying it.
