"Children and Household Tales or Grimm's Fairy Tales Volume 1" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
These are the real, bloody, scary tales not the sweetened up watered down Disney versions. I am loving them although some are disturbing.

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.

I remember reading this when I was like 11 and I read it in the last few years because I found the book on my office bookshelf when we were moving the office. It does go on my list of 10 favorites. I remember the movie, too, it is moving and upsetting but good
