This is an important book. It is not particularly well written, but it highlights important concerns. Naomi illustrates how women struggle to become ''professionals'' and how beauty can become a woman's economic asset and limitation. She also covers the same cultural myths that most of us are familiar with :''men are the heroes of ...

I wanted this book to be great. I willed it to be great. It was not great. It didn't feel genuine to me. I kept checking the copyright to see if it was written several years ago. It wasn't. My largest complaint was her description of individuals in a hospice for folks with HIV. Yes people still die in the States, but the majority of ...

Interesting concept. Brian Fies chronicles his mother's journey with cancer in comic book form. It seems strange, but it works. I read it in less than an hour so it wouldn't hurt you to give it a chance. :p Mon's Cancer by: Brian Fies

I appreciated his awe of the world and his respect for nature. As an example, while I believe in The people creating change, I cannot ...

I read this book when I should have been sleeping during my last home-stay in Thailand. It is fantastic and I only wish that I had not waited over 24 years to read it. As always, here is a quote: ''Being ready for death - that is something one has to learn. Knowing that it doesn't matter. That is what makes it possible to ...

I love this book! Nicole tells the story of an aging man that has lived, loved, and accomplished beautiful things (well nearly). It provides a clear insight into a fear that I can understand. It is lovely and honestly written. '' I often wonder who will be the last person to see me alive. If I had to bet, I'd be on the delivery boy from the ...

Whenever I return to the States, I become overwhelmed by my comprehension of all of the conversations that surround me. This quote describes that feeling: ''They all speak English here. It is one of the things that makes life so dense. Every exit from the house threatens to become an encounter, and every encounter threatens to become ...

This is a quick read about the authors maintenance of her own identity while developing the identity of a mother.  She also questions conventional parenting and is, basically, a poetic genius. ''No. That is not the world we live in. That is how we are told we must live in order to get by, and unfortunately, no one wants to speak ...
