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~~ |

couple three months ago or so, I bought the book:
THE GIFT OF FEAR Read some of it and then lost it. Probably in a pile of programming books at work. I bought another copy and am settling back into it. I think we all here should read it. I am bad about not paying attention to my gut feelings in potentially dangerous situations when I am alone and angry ... that is pretty stupid of me. Trying to retrain myself. |

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 just started reading...
Barnheart: The incurable longing for a farm of one's own by Jenna woginrich I discovered the author while reading Greenhorns; she contributed my favorite essay in the book. She also is an incredible source of encouragenent for fledgling future farmers ( like myself )As an aside to mt fellow readers....do any of you put off finishing a book you particularly like? Or perhaps avoid an ending not to your liking by putting the book aside...? Just curious

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...
