If the Buddha Dated by Charlotte Kasl has been a worn page-marked-up-dog-eared favorite for years. So, I recently picked up another by Charlotte Kasl, If the Buddha Got Stuck. I can already tell it will be another favorite.
Also picked up, "Dancing With Life: Buddhist Insights for Finding Meaning and Joy in the Face of Suffering" by Phillip Moffitt, but I haven't had much time to begin reading it yet. Soon, I hope. ☺ |

Klaus Kinski- Memoirs. A very interesting psychological portrait of one of the world's greatest actors imo.

Just starting Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. I thought I'd read it before but now I'm not sure.

I haven't started reading it just yet, because it doesn't come out until June. I pre-ordered it moments ago, because I enjoy what she writes for the most part.

I've been reading James McBride's autobiography (an memoir and tribute to his white Jewish mother). I bought this book a few years ago and kept it because of the many subjects of interest (poverty, accounts of inherent racism and discrimination, and the re-telling of his mother's painful life experiences, well hidden social taboos, within her own small family and how those experiences shaped her life in very painful ways...). I like how McBride alternates between things he discovered late in life about his mother to how his mother's life impacts affected his life and the lives of his siblings, which helps the reader to learn more about social impacts affecting those whose life might parallel in similar ways. It's a very good book and may well be considered a timeless classic, over the years to come. |

"Zadie Smith's dazzling first novel plays out its bounding, vibrant course in a Jamaican hair salon in North London, an Indian restaurant in Leicester Square, an Irish poolroom turned immigrant café, a liberal public school, a sleek science institute. A winning debut in every respect, White Teeth marks the arrival of a wondrously talented writer who takes on the big themes —faith, race, gender, history, and culture— and triumphs." |

Just finished "The Cellist of Sarajevo" by Steven Galloway.
The review states; "A novel of great intensity and power, and inspired by a true story, The Cellist of Sarajevo poignantly explores how war can change one’s definition of humanity, the effect of music on our emotional endurance, and how a romance with the rituals of daily life can itself be a form of resistance." I very much enjoyed the book. While not a typical "feel good" novel, in the end it did leave me with a sense of hope for this world and the humans that inhabit it. Katniss~~ |
