I'm reading a great book right now.....
In The Company Of The Courtesan by Sarah Dunant. It's set in the early 16th century and begins with the Spanish and the Lutherans' invasion of Rome. It's an intense description, as told by the companion of Fiametta, the Courtesan, Bucino, who is a dwarf. I could almost smell the stench of the aftermath. Elle magazine described it as "A rich surprise", and it is. This autuor also wrote The Birth Of Venus, which I will also read when I'm finished with this one. |

Book suggestions
I am partial to the Joan Anderson books - A Year By The Sea, thoughts of an unfinished woman; A Walk on The Beach -tales of wisdom from an unconvential woman; The Second Journey - the road back to yourself.
And, the Trixie series by Dean Koontz. Have to love a man who writes as his dog. Quick reads - 30 minutes tops. Very entertaining and a bit enlightening too. I, Trixie, Who Is Dog and Trixie's Guide to a Happy Life. The Ascent of Money - a financial history of the world by Niall Ferguson was quite enlightening as well.

I read legal thrillers, cop books, historical non-fiction (emphasis on American history, the history of jazz, the history of baseball, World War II, European history and the Holocaust).
Currently reading "Money to Burn" by James Grippando. Awaiting "Storm Prey" by one of my favorite authors, John Sandford, coming out in May. Is anyone here using Goodreads (www.goodreads.com)? It's kind of a fun social networking site for bookworms. Jake |

Joseph Campbell is another fascinating author of myths. His analysis of mythology in explaining mans relation to the universe in historical, religious, psychological and sociological terms is awesome. There is a dvd out with an interview he did with Bill Moyers discussing his theories which is easier to follow than his writings.

Making Rounds with Oscar
The extraordinary gift of an ordinary cat by David Dosa MD.
Oscar is one of the resident cats in an Alzheimers unit in a Rhode Island nursing. He is basically antisocial until he senses someone is near the end of life. Then Oscar will sit with them and their families during the dying process and wont leave until the deceased is removed. Kind of reality story that makes your soul sigh.

books.
favorite classics: Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte "Mr. Rochester: Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to Ireland, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly." Villette - Charlotte Bronte "No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not a potato." Ruth - Elizabeth Gaskell Wives and Daughters - Elizabeth Gaskell other favorites: Flowers in the Attic - VC Andrews Dolores Claiborne & Rose Madder - Stephen King The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle "You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present"

I cant believe I am reading "American Conspiracies" by Jesse Venture and enjoying it!
He bears an uncanny resemblence to Steven Segal without hair.

it is actually three different trilogies: the Phedre trilogy, which you have read, and then the Imriel trilogy and then the Moirin trilogy, of which only the first one is available. So much more "Terre d'Ange" goodness to come! |
