Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing
Christine Northrup, M.D. ....and on the lighter side.... rereading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver I think I should reread this book every year in the early Spring. It's been a true guide and inspiration.

A Tree Grows in Brooklynn by Betty Smith...
I know this is a favorite assignment for English teachers. I'm not sure how Ive avoided it this long....I've just begun it (my employers told me I can read anything of theirs during down time...so Im enjoying different things) but I do like it thus far. Wonderful imagery describing a bygone Brooklyn

Little Wilson and Big God by Anthony Burgess. Pretty entertaining. Sort of disappointing. Sometimes it's better not to know too much about writers you like.

Dracula ~ Bram Stoker
My daughter is reading it for English class, so I figured I'd reread along with her so we can have fun book discussions.

"Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat." by Dr. Hal Herzog
"Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoyed a better quality of life—the chicken on a dinner plate or the rooster who died in a Saturday-night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? Drawing on more than two decades of research in the emerging field of anthrozoology, the science of human–animal relations, Hal Herzog offers surprising answers to these and other questions related to the moral conundrums we face day in and day out regarding the creatures with whom we share our world. Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat is a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of human–animal relations, based on Dr. Herzog’s groundbreaking research on animal rights activists, cockfighters, professional dog-show handlers, veterinary students, and biomedical researchers. Blending anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy, Herzog carefully crafts a seamless narrative enriched with real-life anecdotes, scientific research, and his own sense of moral ambivalence." So far an interesting read. Having grown up around farming folks I remember the first lesson was always "If you are going to eat it, don't name it."  Katniss~~ |

Preparing to bring this to the stage...
Sholem Asch's Yiddish drama God of Vengeance (1907)
"The play proved so potent when it was translated into English and performed on Broadway in 1923 that the entire cast was arrested on obscenity charges." |

I started reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Its about a woman who, after a series of traumatic events, decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I've read other memoirs where people do these things as a sort of sabbatical. Maybe that's why I'm drawn to the idea.... I SAY I just started reading it but I'm about 25% through already. One thing I do love about my job; it affords me a wonderful opportunity to read...
