Yes, I'm directing ...and it is a hoot! We open Pride weekend! Surprisingly, I haven't seen the movie, and won't until our show goes up. I didn't want to remake the movie, but bring it fresh to our local stage. Fingers crossed! |

Leaving before the rains come / Alexandra Fuller.
Fuller (Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight) follows her two previous memoirs about her childhood during the Rhodesian wars with this third memoir about the dissolution of her marriage and her return to Africa. The doomed union is traced from the couple's Zambian courtship to its end in the wake of Fuller's husband's near-fatal horse-riding accident in the United States. Fuller's family again plays a large role as the author reflects on the circumstances that shaped both her personality and her expectations for her life. Fans of Fuller's previous work will enjoy the opportunity to revisit her eccentric family and learn more about the unconventional lifestyle of Zambian farmers.
-------------------------------- Very enjoyable read. Good humor as well. |

Murcielago: A manga about a lesbian who was once a violent serial killer who decides to work for police instead, killing the most vile of criminals.
Blood and gore? Yes. Explicit sex scenes? Yeah. 10/10 would recommend.

Best book on how to identify Red Flags (highly recommend).
Before we celebrated our 1st anniversary over the weekend, my sweetheart and I agreed to bring something we have read that helped us to better identify what we did not want in a relationship. Interestingly, we both brought the same book (featured above). We wept together, bonding more closely with each other, because we both see that it was no mystery how we came to find each other: Both of us consciously made informed choices about each other. We highly recommend this book.

Women of steel and stone : 22 inspirational architects, engineers, and landscape designers / Anna M. Lewis.
Louise Bethune -- Anna Wagner Keichline -- Julia Morgan -- Marion Mahony Griffin -- Norma Merrick Sklarek -- Denise Scott Brown -- Natalie de Blois -- Zaha Hadid -- Marilyn Jordan Taylor -- Emily Warren Roebling -- Lillian Moller Gilbreth -- Kate Gleason -- Margaret Ingels -- Ruth Gordon Schnapp -- Judith Nitsch -- Aine Brazil -- Beatrix Farrand -- Ellen Biddle Shipman -- Marian Cruger Coffin -- Cornelia Hahn Oberlander -- Carol R. Johnson -- Martha Schwartz.
"Reporting on a range of historical and contemporary female builders and designers, this educational book strives to inspire a new generation of girls in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math. With many of the profiles set against the backdrop of such landmark events as the women's suffrage and civil rights movements and the Industrial Revolution, and with original interviews from a number of current architects and engineers, this book provides inspiration and advice directly to young women by highlighting positive examples of how a strong work ethic, perseverance, and creativity can overcome life's obstacles. Each profile focuses on the strengths, passions, and interests each woman had growing up; where those traits took them; and what they achieved. ------------------------- History and architecture.....two of my favorite things. Very engaging and informative thus far. |

Just finished The Martian by Andy Weir. I could give it a more extensive review, but this comic pretty much captures it:

Hammer head : the making of a carpenter / by Nina MacLaughlin.
Nina MacLaughlin spent her twenties working at a Boston newspaper, sitting behind a desk and starting at a screen. Yearning for more tangible work, she applied for a job she saw on Craigslist -- Carpenter's Assistant: Women strongly encouraged to apply -- despite being a Classics major who couldn't tell a Phillips from a flathead screwdriver. She got the job, and in Hammer Head she tells the rich and entertaining story of becoming a carpenter.
-------------------------- Good beach reading. |

I finished 'In Your Dreams' last night.
Started The Druid Series: Vol 1-3 by Marata Eros but it's so sexual that it's awkward for me to read. Not sure how I acquired it.. likely a .99 Amazon deal.. But I will wallow my way through it. Then to finish The Bird Eater, and then find some more books. |

Rereading Sleepwalk with Me and Other Painfully True Stories by Mike Birbiglia.
I figure if I can't sleep, I might as well laugh about it.

I started reading this:
B.K.S. Iyengar has devoted his life to the practice and study of yoga. It was B.K.S. Iyengar's unique teaching style, bringing precision and clarity to the practice, as well as a mindset of 'yoga for all', which has made it into a worldwide phenomenon.His seminal book, LIGHT ON YOGA, is widely called 'the bible of yoga' and has served as the source book for generations of yoga students around they world. In TREE OF YOGA, the collected wisdom of his many years of practical practice and its application in real life are brought into a single-volume work.A collected philosophy for life researched through decades of practice by B.K.S. Iyengar, the world's most respected yoga teacher. These are his core teachings and advice for living a long, healthy, happy life.Using the tree as a structural metaphor for both life and yoga practice, the essays cover many aspects of life and practice which are vital to health and happiness and in need of care. This includes:,*Yoga and health,*Yoga as part of daily life,*Childhood and parenthood,*Love,*Death,*Faith - hope and spirituality,

Dead Wake by Erik Larson.
I read it a few months ago, but the way he writes about events during the sinking of the Lusitania, like in other non-fiction accounts he has written about before, is simply spell binding. I just want to read it again because it's that good.

The Precariat by Guy Standing:
(simply put,how our modern economy is impacting and effecting our society and the consquences of ie how the lack of any fairness in weath distribution is incubating and hatching a new angry class) and: The Bloody chamber by angela carter: (Collection of short stories,magical fantasy based on and around fairy tales. I'm sure angela carter had quite a big influence on jeanette winterson,i also watched company of wolves couple weeks ago so i i wanted to re read the story) “The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.” ― Alan Bennett, The History Boys. |
