The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
...sometimes I just grab this to reread for inspiration. Her words never fail to move me. |

MK is not a particularly riveting stand-alone read. If it I didn't *have* to read extracts for research then I wouldn't be reading it (again - I read it as a teenager just because I could! :|) |

Books
"DAYS OF DESTRUCTION DAYS OF REVOLT"
by Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco Just came out finally...real direct intelligent truthful "HOME" by Toni Morrison skimming seems redemptive story looking forward to this read as well and after the intensity of the previous books diving into tender poetry "SWAN POEMS AND PROSE POEMS" BY Mary Oliver her latest Greco |
I'm reading the new book by Augusten Burroughs-- This Is How: Proven Aid in Overcoming Shyness, Molestation, Fatness, Spinsterhood, Grief, Disease, Lushery, Decrepitude & More. For Young and Old Alike.
I'm not sure how I like it yet. I expected a spoof on self-help books (even the title suggests this), with his usual biting insight on the dark and quirky side of human behavior (mostly his own). He does this, but more often, he seems to be offering real advice. It's like he doesn't know which direction to go. Still, the writing is good, and besides, you never know when advice on "how to be a good mental patient" might come in handy. |
Last night I started, "The Harlequin", the 15th book in the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton
I will be picking up "To The Nines" from the library this weekend, the 9th book in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. The series are very different from each other but I have really gotten into them since SS (f) has introduce them to me. Anita Blake series, I think it has been 2 years since I first started and Stephanie Plum series, this past Christmas. Thank you baby ;) |
Let me know what you think when you finish it. I was so torn about this book, as the reviews I read were similar to what you wrote. I am such an intense fan of Burroughs that I wanted to read it but it doesn't sound like his usual style.

Calico Joe - John Grisham "A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of major league baseball." Sweet story. If you like baseball, sweet stories, the Cubs and/or Mets from 1973, or Arkansas, you might enjoy this. I liked it tho it brought back memories of Red Sox outfielder Tony Conigliaro, a young man who seemed destined for greatness in baseball until August 18, 1967 when the 24 year old, 5th year pro was beaned by Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton. Tony sustained a fractured cheekbone, dislocated jaw, and severe damage to his left retina. Tho he was eventually able to comeback to play, he was never the same and was forced to retire due to the permanent damage to his eyesight. Not all was for naught tho. Tony still holds the MLB record for most home runs (25) hit by a teenage player. He is the second-youngest player to hit his 100th homer (after Mel Ott in 1931), and the youngest American League player to do so. His beaning spurred the use of the ear flap on helmets in MLB. Since 1990, the Tony Conigliaro Award is given annually to the player who best overcomes an obstacle and adversity through the attributes of spirit, determination and courage that were trademarks of Conigliaro. Unfortunately, Tony died in 1990 at the age of 45. He had suffered a heart attack and a stroke shortly there after. He remained in a vegetative state for 8 years before his death. One pitch forever changed the lives of 2 men. Jack Hamilton never fully recovered, either --- unwilling to pitch inside for fear of severely injuring another batter, Hamilton's strikeout rate declined, his opponents' batting average rose, and his earned run average soared. He retired in 1969. |
