I'm re-reading Touch Me: The Poems of Suzanne Somers. And yes, that Suzanne Somers, she of Three's Company and Thigh Master infomercials. And I'm not embarrassed to say (okay, maybe a little embarrassed) that there's a certain....well, brilliance to her writing....lol.
I picked up the book after attending the show Celebrity Autobiography, in which celebrities read passages from the autobiographies of other celebrities. I thought they made it up, so I picked up the book to see for myself. True pearls of wisdom, I tell you. Here's a youtube video of Kristen Wiigs reading a few of Somers' poems...

A packet of hand-scrawled letters found in a stranger's backpack tells of self-sufficient communities growing from the ruins of California's housing collapse and the global recession. In unfinished Mojave Desert housing tracts and foreclosure ghost towns on the raw edges of the chaotic cities of the West, people have gathered to grow their own food, school their own children and learn how to live without the poisons of gossip, greed, television, mobile phones and the Internet. Encouraged by an enigmatic wanderer known only as "B," the communities thrive as more families and workers are discarded by an indifferent system. But this quiet revolution and its simple rituals cannot stay unnoticed for long, because the teachings of "B" threaten an entire structure of power and wealth dependent upon people toiling their lives away to buy things they don't need. Cass Neary made her name in the 1970s as a photographer embedded in the burgeoning punk movement in New York City. Her pictures of the musicians and hangers on, the infamous, the damned, and the dead, got her into art galleries and a book deal. But 30 years later she is adrift, on her way down, and almost out. Then an old acquaintance sends her on a mercy gig to interview a famously reclusive photographer who lives on an island in Maine. When she arrives Downeast, Cass stumbles across a decades-old mystery that is still claiming victims, and into one final shot at redemption.

book rant
just finished
Hedy's Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World - Richard Rhodes i have to give it a skip it unless you are interested in a cliff notes of the life of george anthiel the most interesting part was the introduction - which was the story i was hoping to explore further in the pages of this book instead it was a half hearted account of george antheil - an interesting subject and multiple quoting of hedy lemarr saying "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid." followed by numerous accounts of her being described as the most beautiful woman in the world cmon - when you have a person who escapes nazi germany, becomes a hollywood star and who teams up with the self described bad boy of music to invent something to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam and this book is what you get a sad world indeed |

Amor Towles | Rules of Civility (August 2011)
Do you like reading about particular rules of engagement? I do! This book is about the culture of a 1930s New York society: cocktail parties, silk stockings, the world of Jazz, and rules that a certain class of people will bend or break in order to experience life to the fullest. I do believe this book is a keeper! |

I'm just about to start Stephen King's 11/22/63.
It weighs about 500 lbs and I haven't figured out how I'm going to read it in bed without knocking myself unconscious . . . . time for an ereader, methinks. |

I'm currently reading Steve Jobs Biography,"Persistence, All Ways Butch and Femme", and possibly going to start the first "Hunger Games". I downloaded it on my Kindle... it's ready and waiting!
