[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 644755, member: 17461"] Great thread! Anything by Anne Lamott. She writes beautifully, and is kind and snappy and very human, all at once. I just finished Bird by Bird, and have the others (Small Victory and I can't think of the other titles) on order at the library. [url]http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22299380-small-victories[/url] Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts [url]http://www.mamagenas.com/[/url] Reuben, Reuben by Peter DeVries [url]http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/R/bo18590202.html[/url] This is the funniest book I have ever read. It is an old book, so you may not be able to find it anymore. My favorite authors are: James Clavell (ShoGun, Nobel House, Gai Jin, Whirlwind, King Rat), Charles Williams (Descent Into Hell, The Greater Trumps, All Hallow's Eve), Anne Rice, Maria Harris (Dance of the Spirit, the Seven Steps of Women's Spirituality). Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell. Simple Abundance, A Daybook of Comfort and Joy, Sarah Ban Breathnack. I am trying to unwrap Shakespeare. The language does me in, and I can't stay with it. But I love all the things he knows and can make clear for us so beautifully. **************** For the reader's among us, Book TV is on (Channel 351) every weekend and every holiday. Non-fiction writers discuss their books, or are interviewed, and then take questions. Brian Greene and Michio Kaku have both been interviewed on Book TV. A psychiatrist whose name I cannot remember now was interviewed regarding her book, which title I also cannot remember now, about popular understanding regarding neuro-imagery advances, and what is really true regarding brain imagery and what we are finding. President Obama's brother was on, discussing his book. He and his brother apparently do not get along so well, but the brother is amazingly charismatic and very well spoken. It was interesting stuff. I am looking forward to this thread! Cedar [/QUOTE]
