Wish I had time to bury my nose into a good book, but lately the extent of it has been studying for my national licensure exam. Oh wait!! I did buy and go through the book! It was called CRC Exam: Guide to Success by Roger O Weed, PhD, CRC and Joseph A Hill, PhD, CRC 9th Ed. *Sighs...
But to be able to get back to reading for pleasure.......*another dreamy sigh |

I have been reading from two books from a former English & Women's studies class I took a few years ago. At the time, we had to read both books side-by-side; as well as provide a highly developed research appendice to our study papers. I didn't like it at the time because I felt my head was on fire. But I saved my books from that class because it's important to internalize the tremendous struggle women have endured and how we still continue to liberate ourselves from constraining, and what feels like at times to suffocate our very existence, socially held agenda.
Authors of Classical literature that was considered highly controverial during their time: North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell, 1855)Coming soon in May: And The Mountains Echoed (Khaled Housseini) A novel about how we find a lost peice of ourselves in someone else: How we find love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page (Amazon, 3/2013).I have read two other books by Hosseini: The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns Both books affected me profoundly - Housseini definately has a way of illustrating the human condition in timeless ways.

I'm reading Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It came out in 2006- I'd never heard of it, but it's come up a few times lately so I'm taking that as a cosmic nudge.
Just started it, but so far so good. It focuses on Lincoln's gift for turning his political opponents into allies by making the message more important than the ego.

Like potato chips, you can't have just one....
"Incarnate" by Jodi Meadows. (a trilogy....NEWSOUL, NOSOUL, HEART)
NEWSOUL Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why. ************************ "Sensual Reading; New Approaches to Reading in its Relations to the Senses." Edited by Micaehl Syrotinski and Ian Maclachlan Sensual Reading is a collection of essays that attempts to rearticulate the relationship between reading and the different senses as a way of moving beyond increasingly homogenized discourses of the ‘‘body’’ and the ‘‘subject.’’ Contributions engage with the individual senses, with the themes of sensory richness and sensory deprivation, and with the notion of ‘‘telesensuality.’’ Katniss~~(Thank you Kätzchen, I liked "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and now have "And the Mountains Echoed" on order with Amazon.) |

I am currently reading "Undefended Love," by Jett Psaris, PH.D and Marlena S. Lyons, PH.D.....It's an inspiring and practical approach to lasting, loving relationships. The message is clear and the effect is profound. I'm learning alot.

OMG I love the Buddy books. Being born and raised in RI, I am used to the colorful political scene and love hearing the Buddy take on things. I like the Federal Hill stories too. I miss my people.

I am someone who constantly thirsts for understanding and knowledge about other cultures and religions. So, currently, I am reading The Book of Mormon. There is a nice young man at work who is Mormon, and he is very open in talking about his faith, even knowing that there is no way that I would ever be influenced by it.

A Pacific Northwest Author...
Have any of you ever heard of Lucia Perillo?
She's a Pacific Northwest author who lives in the state of Washington and I came across a book of hers, the other night, which I plan to purchase next week - since I couldn't find a copy of it at the library. The title of her book is: Happiness is a Chemical in the Brain (2012). Here's a book review (LINK) Here's a brief excerpt of her writing from chapter 1 (Bad Boy Number Seventeen): ....."I think he's funny," she says in that woofy voice of hers. "I think he's cute. I think that boy wants to be my boyfriend."Book Description Publication Date: May 7, 2012 A stunning debut from an award-winning poet. Populating a small town in the Pacific Northwest, the characters in Lucia Perillo’s story collection all resist giving the world what it expects of them and are surprised when the world comes roaring back. An addict trapped in a country house becomes obsessed with vacuum cleaners and the people who sell them door-to-door. An abandoned woman seeks consolation in tales of armed robbery told by one of her fellow suburban housewives. An accidental mother struggles to answer her daughter’s badgering about her paternity. And in three stories readers meet Louisa, a woman with Down syndrome who serves as an accomplice to her younger sister’s sexual exploits and her aging mother’s fantasies of revenge. Together, Happiness Is a Chemical in the Brain is a sharp-edged, witty testament to the ambivalence of emotions, the way they pull in directions that often cancel one another out or twist their subjects into knots. In lyrical prose, Perillo draws on her training as a naturalist and a poet to map the terrain of the comic and the tragic, asking how we draw the boundaries between these two zones. What’s funny, what’s heartbreaking, and who gets to decide?

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Lover-At-Last-Dagger-Brotherhood/dp/0451239350"]Lover at Last[/ame] by JR Ward.
I started hearing a lot of chatter about this book last year. J.R. Ward writes a series called the Black Dagger Brotherhood which is about vampires. It's romance but it's somewhat edgy. One of the books in the series included BDSM, and people were all frowny about it (this was pre-50 Shades). So J.R. Ward decides to step it up a notch and make the latest installment of her series about the love story between two men. Two beloved characters that have been in earlier installments. People lost their ever-loving minds. People flocked to her message board and vented their spleens about how they didn't want to read a love story about two men, and how they especially didn't want to read the sex scenes. They blogged about it. They cried on Goodreads. And so on. This of course made me want to buy twelve copies, but in the end I only bought two (one for my kindle and one for my local library). I read it yesterday and while it didn't blow my mind, I liked it. J.R. Ward is a good writer and I admire her courage in writing this story despite the criticism. |

I am reading The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing. I find the author to be a bit full of herself but damn the woman can craft a sentence. I'm about 100 pages in and find myself quite glad that this book is a little over 600 pages. I want to be able to wade in it for a while.

The Hobbit. I have read it about 7 times, but not in the last 20 years, so after watching the movie, I suddenly felt the need to revisit the tale...I started reading it yesterday, and according to Kindle, I've already finished about 75% of it. I can't put it down, and I am loving the stroll down memory road of the books of my past...I am betting this will lead to me re-reading all of James Herriot's series of books that began with "All Creatures Great and Small"...
