after watching the movie ANTWONE FISHER, I wanted to read the book.........true account of a survivor of abandonment and abuse.
Was so proud to see my book at the Drawn & Quarterly store on Bernard St. in Montreal!
The best part was that the store manager, Rory, gave us a good lunch recommendation and printed out a map to find the place! A nice way to finish off our trip.
I have the MyBook Adaptable planner and I totally love it. Each month I add a divider page from recent pictures. I'm a little behind... this is from April.

The top shelf of my bookcase I bought and had to build. It's from Target, so what do you expect for $30? Well, I'm not the greatest at building stuff as you can see because the backing of the bookcase should be turned around to match the colors of the fake dark brown wood. So, now I've decided to layer it with drawings and pictures as a new backing. What do you guys think? Oh, and check out my books! It's all I have left from my move from Connecticut to Arizona. Remember, I donated 2/3 of my collection to my local Library.

Prior to a move we are about to undertake, I cleaned off some shelves today and came up with an interesting mixture of books. I like the mixture of Jerzy Kosinski, Richard Brautigan, and Tom Robbins, with Eric Hoffer, Harlan Ellison, and Thomas Merton.
The beginning of this dictionary includes an introduction to "Chinooks, Clatsops and Coast Tribes Traits, Country, Habits, Etc." At the conclusion, there are some "useful" phrases translated from English to Chinook such as "Many years. I forget how many.", "Will you sell that fish?" and "Very well; get to work." The final page translates the Lord's Prayer into Chinook.

This book is set apart for several reasons: its author a native of Transylvania, witnessed the harshest period of class-warfare and discrimination, during the early years of Communist grip on Romania. The style is without any frills, in a direct, journalistic manner, without any ambition or pretense of literary value. It is a rather matter-of-fact, bare-bones diary of what life was like under the sordid years of Romanian communism.
In spite of such backdrop, this is not, by any means, a sad account,on the contrary it has its black humour, although the period described is redolent of the darkest years of dictatorship. The author presents a bland, stenographic sequence of the drab, and dour life behind the Iron Curtain, during the post-war experiment with Marxist ideology. Such account represents a worthwhile reminder of times experienced not such a long time ago, especially that the current Romanian-controlled amnesia tries to airbrush the recent past from the public psyche.
Worth reading as a testimony, especially as an antidote to the pre-programmed loss of memory in present-day Romania!

One of Richard's former students, Rachel, sent us this picture taken in the bookshop of the Musee de Cluny in Paris. It's a major medieval museum (famous for its lovely unicorn tapestries), and I was pretty excited to see that they carry my book on their shelf of English-language selections -- particularly so since I admire French medievalist scholarship a great deal. (There are distinct national approaches to writing history.)
My latest book, what a great read it is too, about one of my all time favourite singer/songwriters, the late great Phillip, Paris, Lynott.

Seven books of the Jack Whyte Camulod Series. I read them many years ago in paperback and got rid of them. A couple of years ago I thought I'd like to read them again, so I searched them out on Amazon and ended up with all seven in hard cover. Took them off the shelf today in preparation for our move and haven't decided if they'll be making the move or not.
It looks like a book, but it doesn't quite feel like a book. The pages are too stiff and it's hard to open. I already cracked the spine of one of the copies. Plus the margins are much too narrow. The size itself is right and the picture section is classic for a memoir. So getting close, but I hope it steps up a bit in production quality. A few more conference calls needed with the book team.
