Lots is funny and lots is serious. All about Celia's two-year job search which has finally ended. The book is for sale on Amazon for all of us to read!

Great anecdote about J.D. Salinger. Highly recommended. Just sorry not much/nothing on scholarly academic publishers.

Over the holidays I wanted something light, so I listened to two books from the Elm Creek Quilts series by Jennifer Chiaverini. I had already read "The Sugar Camp Quilt" and "The New Year's Quilt". I can now add "The Master Quilter" and "The Winding Ways Quilt" to the list. I read my books on CD now since I can work on my projects and read a book at the same time.

Goldsmith Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:45:15 +0000 http://www.against-the-grain.com/?p=3567#comment-20669 I've been reading "Decision Points" written by our former President, George W. Bush. It gives the reader an inside look at his life prior to marrying Laura, details the chain of events that led him down the road to becoming President, as well as gives his perspective on how he handled different situations during his terms as President, such as Hurricane Katrina and the War on Iraq. The book is very candid and has a casual tone; I have found it to be a good read so far. Some say this is his attempt at trying the reshape his legacy, but I think that he felt widely misunderstood as he lets the reader in on many things that we didn't know.

Fascinating! More to come later in a book review. I’m reading “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot. Fascinating! More to come later in a book review.
