Orpheus & Eurydice by Gregory Or

(clip)

When Eurydice saw him
huddled in a thick cloak,
she should have known
he was alive,
the way he shivered
beneath its useless folds.

But what she saw
was the usual: a stranger
confused in a new world.
And when she touched him
on the shoulder,
it was nothing
personal, a kindness
he misunderstood.
To guide someone
through the halls of hell
is not the same as love.

(/clip)

I bought a Kindle a few months ago and have been getting back into reading. I had slacked off on my reading the past few years, primarily because my eyes have been getting weaker when it comes to seeing things up close. I HATE having to scramble for reading glasses, so when I found out about Kindle and the fact that I could enlarge the print and see more easily, well, I bought one and have been reading a lot these days!!

My mother recommended a book that's been on the international Best Seller's list in Europe. It's called "Hanna's Daughters" and is written by Marianne Fredricksson. Generally, it's about the volatile ties that bind the relationship between mothers and daughters. I'm just getting into it, but so far, it's a real page-turner and I don't want to put it down!!

As someone that has spent many a long day on the furthest back seat of a Greyhound traveling to the far reaches of my wandering heart (and logging thousands of miles in the process) the book is a glimpse of life on the bus and the life of a loner and the life of a hurting child seeking home.

I just order a kindle but it doesnt ship until first part on Sept. Meanwhile been using Kindle for the PC which is ok just not the same as holding a 6 inch thin device. I love ebooks because for a long time I stopped reading as much because my eyes would get tired no matter what reading glasses I wore. With Kindle and most ebook readers you can increase the font really large.

At present I'm reading John Symonds' "The Beast 666", about Aleister Crowley. It'll took me quite some time to finish it, given 666 is almost the number of the pages too!

"The Anthropology of Turquoise" by Ellen Meloy, great read
if you enjoy the SouthWest, and the outdoors.

"brainstorm Harnessing the Power of Productive
Obesessions" by Eric and Ann Maisel, great tool
for creativity

"The Truth Will Set You Free" by Alice Miller,
about effects of physical abuse on children-adults,
and she writes well

I've read this book and considering the material it was a good read that offered much insight.

I was tired of surfin, tired of the tube so I got some bubblegum for my
brain because that's about all it can handle right now from too much work.

Stephen King, Under The Dome

its graphic, almost too graphic.

BBinNYC · 08-25-2010, 05:49 AM

Just finished Arthur Laurents: A Memoir of Broadway and Hollywood

This made my inner gay boy happy!

A bit long. He could have used a more rigorous editor but the highlights include:
the inside stories of Gypsy, The Way We Were and West Side Story (3 of my favorites)
an account of what it was like to be a gay man working in Hollywood and Broadway in the 40s and 50s
an account of the Hollywood blacklist and the Red Scare from the perspective of someone who did not inform.

A Trace of Smoke by Rebecca Cantrell

A mystery for non-mystery lovers like me. The story takes place in 1931 Berlin and focuses on Hannah Vogel, a newspaper reporter who finds out that her gay brother has been murdered. As she sets out to find the culprit she is plunged into pre-Nazi Germany, including the infamous SA brown shirts.

A really good book especially for those who have an interest in late Weimar Germany and pre-Nazi era gay life.
