Almost done with "An Interview with a Cannibal: Armin Mewin". Um, it's interesting. It's creepy.

Fixing to start "Holocaust: Eastern Jewry".

Bit of a story: In past 8 wks or so, we've had 10 residents pass away. The last one was a bitter blow for me. So, I'm not a fan of religion, but...picked up a bible, started thumbing through it. It's interesting. So I'm reading that too.

Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff

The fascination with Cleopatra has endured through the centuries and Stacy Schiff has written this Pulitzer Prize winning biography that does the most famous woman of the ancient world justice. A brilliant read.

Re-reading The Girls Sappho Goes To Hollywood by Diana McLellan. I love this book! Again! The story revolves around Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Tulluah Bankhead and the women who loved them. Large selection of amazing photograhps as well

Objects of Our Desire: Exploring Our Intimate Connections with the Things Around Us
Salman Akhtar

This is a brilliantly written book by a psychiatrist that examines why we hang on to stuff and simply can't part with it for various reasons. He explores our rationale for becoming 'collectors.' Here is a quote from the preface..." We are surrounded by things. We are involved with them, indebted to them. We speak to things and things speak to us. To say that we are interdependent is banal. Let us be courageous. Let us admit it: we are lovers."

Easy, delightful read. I recommend it.
