A Thousand Day’s by Arthur Schlesinger (Husband and I are reading this aloud to each other 5 pages a day. With the book 1031 pages, you will understand that this is taking a while.)
Benjamin Rush: Patriot and Physician by Alan Brodsky
Without You, There Is No Us by Suki Kim (Young woman teaches English to elite North Korean Fascinating.)
The Ninth Hour by Alice McDermott
None of last week's books grabbed me. This week at the library I picked up The Far Away Brothers and 50 States, 5000 Ideas and The World Atlas of Street Fashion.
Funny! I also picked up 50 states, 5,000 ideas this week. Have not opened it yet though!Originally Posted by Yppej
I have moved on to the topic of dementia.
Nearly finished Susan and John McFadden's Aging Together which gets to grips with how communities abandon people as they "go down the dementia road"... and makes strong recommendations to family/friends and religious congregations.
On deck:
Mace and Robins, The 36-Hour Day
Basting, Forget Memory
Kessler, Dancing with Rose
Did you read "Still Alice?" That was good and the film was good as well.

Thanks for the recommendation of "Still Alice"... When I finish with the current 4, look for it I will look for it.
This is a novel and I don't know if you read novels, but this tells the story of a woman with early onset dementia. She is a college professor. It is a very moving book.
It didn't have many places I had not already heard of that are of interest to me.
Total fiction/good read. Diane Chamberlain: Cypress Point.
