kleinbl00, This sentence alone was worth reading your review of a book I know nothing about: As for recommendations, I always suggest that people read A Prayer for Owen Meany, for fiction and for non-fiction, as an audio engineer, I think you'd dig Geoff Emerick's Here, There and Everywhere. -It has WAY less to do with the Beatles than it does with audio recording in the age of the Beatles. Pretty cool.EDIT: I was at a rented cabin in August with that Kinkade over the mantel.
Ha. I'm sorry to read that. Could there be a more busy looking "peaceful" cabin? How many things are in that sky? In that water? So busy, so awful. My neighbor growing up used to make me look at his mom's "Kinkaid" and tell me how expensive it was. "look at all that detail..." -He now manages a restaurant in Ann Arbor :)When he chose to flirt somewhat uncomfortably with my special placement teacher in 8th grade, it was the subject of their flirtation. So there's that.
I gotta swim through this list first. Or at least, the ones I haven't read that I think are in some way applicable to my life. I owe mk 9 books alone.
