Objects of Our Desire: Exploring Our Intimate Connections with the Things Around Us
Salman Akhtar This is a brilliantly written book by a psychiatrist that examines why we hang on to stuff and simply can't part with it for various reasons. He explores our rationale for becoming 'collectors.' Here is a quote from the preface..." We are surrounded by things. We are involved with them, indebted to them. We speak to things and things speak to us. To say that we are interdependent is banal. Let us be courageous. Let us admit it: we are lovers." Easy, delightful read. I recommend it. |

Long Time Fav
Francis Scovel Shinn wrote “The Game of Life and How to Play It” in 1925, this classic work focused on positive thought and affirmations, one of my favorite exercises is... When you ask for something from the Universe also ask for it's equivalent, that way you get exactly what your soul needs. We may think we know what that is but the creator knows better.
|
For some reason I knew you would like this book... I remember the first time I read it... also the second time...

three
"The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion
not for the faint of heart, but if you've had a significant loss you'll understand/supportive in an intense way...but no more intense then what you've already been through. "The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri the Best and "Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich Writing, mysterious, something I am sinking my teeth into. |
I loved "The Year of Magical Thinking."
If you don't mind can you say more about the other two books? Quote:
|
of course
" Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich's first novel.
She wrote her latest "Shadow Tag" and was the book I read first. I wanted to explore all of her writing so I have gone to her first and will continue from here. It is about family relationships. Her writing is as real as it gets. "The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri is for artists and art lovers well lovers of the creative process. I understand he was a loved teacher of art, and he was a painter. Enjoy if you pick these up. Greco Quote:

I'm about to start reading 'Room' by Emma Donoghue
In many ways, Jack is a typical 5-year-old. He likes to read books, watch TV, and play games with his Ma. But Jack is different in a big way--he has lived his entire life in a single room, sharing the tiny space with only his mother and an unnerving nighttime visitor known as Old Nick. For Jack, Room is the only world he knows, but for Ma, it is a prison in which she has tried to craft a normal life for her son. When their insular world suddenly expands beyond the confines of their four walls, the consequences are piercing and extraordinary. Despite its profoundly disturbing premise, Emma Donoghue's Room is rife with moments of hope and beauty, and the dogged determination to live, even in the most desolate circumstances. A stunning and original novel of survival in captivity, readers who enter Room will leave staggered, as though, like Jack, they are seeing the world for the very first time. |

Now re-reading The Grass Crown by Colleen McCullough. I have read the entire series many years ago and am enjoying delving back into them. In hindsight, it sure reminds me of the political climate facing many parts of the world today...
