I'm finally engaged...in a wonderful book. Its been a while since I found one I could sink my brain into...
I'm reading Thomas Jefferson: The art of power by Jon Meacham Its a very interesting book about an amazing man. I even read the prologue...which I never do...

I'm reading the Walking Dead Compendium Volume 1.
And yes, I'm a fan of the TV show, though late to the table. I know there are some major plot differences between the TV show and the comic book, and that reading the comic book will not solve the Big Cliffhanger of the current season, but I'm invested enough in the characters now to care about them in the comic form. Only 2 more compendiums to go!

I'm going to be on a 4 day holiday, over the weekend, and although I'm keeping my plans open, I'm going to read novels by Chaim Potok. I will probably save my very favorite book of all his books for the last, which is titled The Chosen.
The first time I read The Chosen, I was a sophomore in high school. The story of David and his struggle with his father, life at school and at home and conflicts within his family, has stayed with me since long ago. Here's an excerpt from the very first page: "When a trout rising to a fly gets hooked on a line and finds himself unable to swim about freely, he begins with a fight which results in struggles and splashes and sometimes an escape. Often, of course, the situation is too tough for him. In the same way the human being struggles with his environment and with the hooks that catch him. Sometimes he masters his difficulties; sometimes they are too much for him. His struggles are all that the world sees and it naturally misunderstands them. It is hard for a free fish to understand what is happening to a hooked one..." (Karl A.Menninger).

The lioness in winter : writing an old woman's life / Ann Burack-Weiss.
"Ann Burack-Weiss, a gerontologist with more than forty years of experience, analyzes and engages with the writings of a dozen well-known authors for insights into old age. Featured are Maya Angelou, Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Joan Didion, M.F.K Fisher, Doris Grumbach, Carolyn Heilburn, Doris Lessing, Florida Scott-Maxwell, May Sarton, Anne Roiphe, and Alexis Kate Shulman, among others, all of whom wrote about essential issues in old age including physical changes and disability, living alone, reflecting on and revaluing the past, generativity, public life, and the changing roles of family and friends. Burack-Weiss frames the reading of these texts in relevant theory and research including an introduction that discusses narrative theory and developmental, gerontological, and feminist perspectives on the older woman" -- Provided by publisher.

 This book had me on the edge of my seat, needless to say. I was near vomiting in many parts of this book because WARNING: It is very explicit. The survival instinct kicks in and the rest is history. Here is a link below for more information about Lori and her book and the horrendous journey she had to endure. True story. http://www.loris-song.com/

I'm reading French Broad by Wilma Dykeman
Its a factual narrative about a local river, the French Broad, and its history beginning in the 1700s. So far I have learned much. I didn't anticipate that so many local "heroes" would be guilty of genocide (of the Cherokee) though. It does relate how the river helped with trading and is the main reason why towns (like Asheville) came into existence so long ago when settling here was such a difficult thing. I'm immersing myself in local history. I'm hoping this will be the first book of many on the subject.

There aren't many books that I can honestly say I've done this with. The only one that comes to mind is Little Women. Sometimes I just need its comfort. This discludes poetry of course. That can be re-read infinitely and you still get a different feel from it. Any which way, I figure that books that people return to have a higher merit than others. Just my happy little opinion
