Comes highly recommended, since I know so many peeps with bad backs thought I might learn something to help them. Am also hoping to prevent the same in myself.

Having back pain can make your life sooo freaking miserable.

I finished one book by Mary Roach (Gulp), and started another by her- for some odd reason, both books were published the same week. This one is called My Planet: Finding Humor in the Oddest Places, and is a collection of articles previously published in Reader's Digest. The book is cute, quirky and quick- nothing that sticks with me, but entertaining. Mary Roach cracks me up even when she's writing for a magazine that is usually found in my parents' bathroom. Recommended.

Default Oh yeah...

And thanks to the barrage of promos and teasers for the upcoming HBO movie Behind the Candelabra, I went looking for the book of the same name. The book is about Liberace's turbulent relationship with Scott Thorson, his lover and chauffeur (the movie is about the same, but with Michael Douglas as Liberace, and Matt Damon as Thorson. I admit I'm intrigued.)

The book won't come out until May, though I found an out-of-print copy on Amazon- I guess it's being reprinted, thanks to the HBO movie. It was originally published in 1988, a year after Liberace's death from AIDS, and marketed as a tell-all memoir by Thorson the Chauffeur himself. The puzzling part is that the book is labeled "an autobiographical novel." Whaaa? Wait, why isn't it nonfiction?? I might pass on the book now, but I'm still all atwitter over the movie's debut. Damn you, HBO.

Thumbs up Reading book again..

I'm currently reading "Of Drag Kings and the Wheel of Fate" by Susan Smith. I first read this book years ago, and every so often I read it again. After I'm finished, I'll be re-reading the sequel to this book, "Burning Dreams". Susan Smith is an amazing author.

Not becoming my mother : and other things she taught me along the way / Ruth Reichl

Bestselling author Ruth Reichl embarks on a clear-eyed and openhearted investigation of her mother's life, piecing together the journey of a woman she comes to realize she never really knew. Looking to her mother's letters and diaries, Reichl confronts the painful transition her mother made from a hopeful young woman to an increasingly unhappy older one and realizes the tremendous sacrifices she made to make sure her daughter's life would not be as disappointing as her own.

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Life-After-A-Novel/dp/0316176486/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366312599&sr=8-1&keywords=kate+atkinson"]Life After Life by Kate Atkinson[/ame]

from the book description:

"What if you could live again and again, until you got it right?

On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.

Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can -- will she?

Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original -- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best."

It is very readable, as are all her books. And it's a great concept. I'll let you know what I think when it's done.

Minimalist Parenting: Enjoying Modern Family Life More by Doing Less
by Asha Dornfest and Christine Koh

Ok, so I was thinking this book was going to tell me to get rid of my stuff, but not so. Here's a partial review from Moxie, which I think is spot-on:
"This book is probably going to overwhelm you if you have a first baby under three months. If you have kids older than that, though, this book will give you a nice framework for thinking about all the areas of family life so you can assess what you can control and streamline things so you can process the chaos as it happens and spend more time enjoying life and less time feeling like it's dragging you around."

Wright, David (1985). Geoffrey Chaucer: The Canterbury Tales.
Oxford University Press (Oxford, England & Oxford, New York).


I find myself, from time to time, picking up this book and reading particular selections of Chaucer. I often find myself re-reading Wright's introduction to Chaucer, so that I am reminded of Chaucer's place in time and where he stood socially - due to his father, John Chaucer, a well-to-do wholesale wine merchant who lived on Thames Street, which at one time was a weathy district in London and his father's marriage to a wealthy heiress, Agnes de Copton - and to also re-acquaint myself with Chaucer's long-storied career in service to the public. I don't know why I do that, but I do - every single time I return to read some tale in this book.

While soaking in the tub last night, the latest tale I read from Chaucer was: The Fragment of The Wife of Bath's Tale (pp. 219 - 250).

Where they stand : the American presidents in the eyes of voters and historians

by Robert W. Merry.


The rating of American presidents is a popular fascination for scholars and citizens alike. Merry believes that professionals' opinions are, however, sometimes out of sync with those of the people and, specifically, the electorate that installed or repudiated a president.

Therefore, he accords the vox populi weight equal to the verdicts of seven polls of historians conducted over past decades. The professors and the voters exhibit no differences over who were the best presidents Washington, Lincoln, and FDR but they diverge over nominees for the near-great category; electorates liked Jackson and Reagan, but historians have been critical. Likewise, the dons praise Wilson and Truman, whereas the people voted their parties out of power.

To bridge such discrepancies, Merry combines fluid commentary on what impresses historians and application of his rule for the populace's standard of approval, rewarding an incumbent with a second term and succession by his party's nominee. Anything less plunges a president down the scale to average or failure, with near-great Polk as a conspicuous exception.
