Historia
Following her retirement from Princeton University, celebrated historian Dr. Nell Irvin Painter surprised everyone in her life by returning to school - in her 60s - to earn a BFA and MFA in painting. In Old in Art School, she travels from her beloved Newark to the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design; finds meaning in the artists she loves, even as she comes to understand how they may be undervalued; and struggles with the unstable balance between the pursuit of art and the inevitable, sometimes painful, demands of a life fully lived.

Historia
In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon.

Wow! Oil politics 101 explained quite well. No wonder she won the Grammy. We must fight for transparency.

Historia
This is not your mother's memoir. In The Chronology of Water, Lidia Yuknavitch expertly moves the listener through issues of gender, sexuality, violence, and the family from the point of view of a lifelong swimmer turned artist. In writing that explores the nature of memoir itself, her story traces the effect of extreme grief on a young woman's developing sexuality that some define as untraditional because of her attraction to both men and women.

When Lane Coolman's car is bashed from behind on the road to the Florida Keys, what appears to be an ordinary accident is anything but (this is Hiaasen!). Behind the wheel of the other car is Merry Mansfield - the eponymous Razor Girl - and the crash scam is only the beginning of events that spiral crazily out of control while unleashing some of the wildest characters Hiaasen has ever set loose.

Historia
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that's about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour? Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you're about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind's chance to unlock the universe's secrets? Mike Massimino has been there, and in Spaceman he puts you inside the suit.

This Book Will Make You an Astronaut Fan
Revisado: 05-19-17
This book was a pleasant surprise. I have never been interested the space program, the Hubbell or Astronauts. But as I listened I found myself sitting on the NYC subway smiling and at times crying. This is a great factual success story made better by being read by the author.

Maybe I am Just not Educated
Revisado: 04-07-17
The narrator's dreary voice made listening hard. I kept wondering if a print version would have been a better choice for me. I kept getting distracted and then I would hear "this concludes...' I would have little recall of the story. Some of the writing was quite good but all in all it was not an enjoyable read. But hey he did win a Nobel Prize so am guessing the fault lies in my education.

This transcendent story follows four college friends who move to New York City, buoyed by ambition: Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, an artist; Malcolm, an architect; and, at the center, Jude, a withdrawn, brilliant attorney haunted by an unspeakable past. Through decades of shared and separate lives, Jude’s suffering - and its impact on those who love him - raises questions about the limits of human endurance, the possibility for redemption, and the meaning of friendship.

warning turn back
Revisado: 12-26-16
i haven't longed for a literary suicide this much since I read Anna Karenina. The Jude everyone seems to love so much is not written. There are great passages but they are all peopled by whiney clueless people. They all have success in the world but are overemotional in life. The medical issues could have used more research. Jude's success seems unlikely. His adoption seems unlikely. In the end I begged for it to end but I still had 2 hours to go. Ugh!

Sexist Classic
Revisado: 05-28-16
Detective novels are not my genre. This one is a classic but it is dated and Sexist. Phillip Marlow slaps and kisses every woman he meets. Guess the Sexist approach was okay back in the day. I disliked the first person narrator. Made me realize why this is not my genre.

Historia
Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late 60s and 70s and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame.

Revisado: 08-14-15
I have never thought much about Patti Smith or Robert Mapllethorp. Now I am grieving that I did not seek them out. Never went to CBGBS even though I was right here in NYC. Now I love them both. Thank you Patti for a great gift of this book. Turns out my daughter hung out with Jackson in Washington Sq when they were just kids
