Is anyone on goodreads.com? I joined several months ago, but just recently started actually using the site, and I'm really glad I did! Looking through friends' lists, I've come across a lot of books I wanted to read, or re-read, and had forgotten about.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. An amazing biography, not sure why it took me so long to pick it up. I'm awed by the amount of research the author put into this book- she goes seamlessly between family history, medical ethics, racism in the South and cell biology.... all in a compelling narrative. It's all the more moving to me because I've actually worked with the HeLa cell line...and only now have I ever thought about the woman it came from.

Thieves of Baghdad by Matthew Bogdanos.
I listened to him speak at a local college and found him intelligent and humble, so I was surprised to read so many reviews calling him pompous and egotistical. I'm very interested in the subject of what happened to all of the stolen museum artifacts in Iraq and the hunt to find them again. It's good so far. |

I am reading The Hunger Games. I rarely read fiction. The ten year old in my life loved this book and asked me to read it. Not exactly riviting for me but, I am very glad to see that a young woman is smart, strong, hero. And, I am touched that the 10 year old wants to share something meaningful to her with me.

the pleasure of reading
"Deep Survival" by Laurence Gonzales
"Surviving Survival" by the same author Read these two this past week and tonight I am re-reading "Final Gifts" by Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley Yes, the themes are death, dying, surviving survival and above all and in all categories...resilience. What deep pleasure I get from reading...like holding subtle, and heart-wrenching conversations with intelligent and sensitive others. Life is good. Greco

"Marnie and her little sister, Nelly, are on their own now. Only they know what happened to their parents, Izzy and Gene, and they aren't telling. While life in Glasgow's Maryhill housing estate isn't grand, the girls do have each other. Besides, it's only a year until Marnie will be considered an adult and can legally take care of them both."

Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers, written
by Anne Lamott. This book is written in the usual Lamott style of dissecting the way we communicate with a Higher Being. She brings the three essential prayers to life as only she can do. This is an easy read as far as time...however, processing of the content can be a bit more tedious. Somehow she weaves the content in such a way one comes away thinking...she just read the thoughts in my head. Anne Lamott glows again with the publishing of this jewel.

Before Green Gables.
It's the story of Anne Shirley ( of Green Gables), before she was adopted and brought to Prince Edward Island. |
