One of my favorite authors. I have finished her latest, An Honest Man, just a couple of weeks ago.
"Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in the midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free." Leonard Cohen
I always thought of employment as at least partly a way to do something to move the world forward at least a little, partly a source of challenge and partly a source of income. When I achieved a measure of financial independence, I took a (somewhat poorly)
paid position at a nonprofit whose mission I wanted to advance. I also thought it important to demonstrate to my kid that work is not optional; at least for people in our situation. I can’t imagine the misery of doing something you hate for decades. I guess I’ve had a charmed life in that respect.
I'm currently reading The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. She is one of my favorite contemporary authors and I'm enjoying the book very much.
Ann Patchett is my DILs favorite author as well. I'll have to read one of her books.

Catherine: I read Bel Canto first and I was hooked!
Our Revolution by Bernie Sanders. The first and smaller part is autobiography, the second part policy proposals along with the rationale for them. He is very eager to give credit to everyone who helped his campaign, and getting into all the names is where I sometimes lost interest.
My sil just gave me the Dutch house. We could have a book club.
Just did some books on tape incar. Nothing very good!
Tybee: I finished it last night and I definitely recommend it!
L'appart by David Lebovitz, subtitled "the delights and disasters of making my Paris home.'
