{R|B}eading frenzy
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 08:38 pmWire wrapped necklace & bracelet (listening to The Story) with big cobalt bicones, green porcelain beads (where did they come from?), aventurine rounds, and miscellaneous smaller beads. Very soothing activity.
Dick Gordon does lots of stories about people with disabilities. He's not as talented as Hock in terms of avoiding the obvious, but his language is respectful and the most recent I heard was a love story featuring two vets, one blind and one with aphasia. Now there's a topic that's difficult for radio, and yet it was lovely.
Enjoyed Shannon Wheeler's Too Much Coffee Man: Parade of Tirade. Since My Guy uses a Melitta every morning, and is somehow a sunny personality, I identify with both the lovely drafting and the occasional crankiness. I was heartbroken to learn the author is male: I guess I'm still "counting coups," wanting a fabulously talented cartoonist to be female.
Guy Delisle's Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea is gorgeously drawn. I laughed out loud at the bureaucratic antics, and was chilled to the core by a picture of a cult of personality dictatorship that has lasted too damn long.
Twenty books out of the library and I'm headed to the Northwoods on Friday where I generally read not at all. An excellent way to channel the manic urge to accumulate!
