Is anyone else unable to access the Windows Media stream this morning? I just emailed the Stream Team about it. Unfortunately, I only have access to that one stream at work, so it means I'm missing what looks like a great show!

Asbury Park here at the New Jersey shore is a fascinating study in the condos as the only form of revitalization argument promulgated by the powers that be. I guess Coney Island is a similar situation.

I just finished "The Truth", Terry Pratchet's Discworld take on newspapers (all FMUers are encouraged to read "Soul Music", his Discworld take on rock n roll). I'm in the middle of the newest by David Sedaris, and my vacation read-on-the-plane book is going to be Huck Finn.

reading The Elementary Particles by Michel Houellebecq

The Joy of Man's Desiring looks good dc I'm going to check that out. When I went to check that out they suggested The Man Who Planted Trees which is a great short read. Also The Maine Woods by Henry David Thoreau has some great little secret awakening moments in it.

I just finished The Terror by David Brin. Excellent read. I'm reading Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum (written in 1900). The freakin' guy ran away from home and joined the crew of a ship at age 12!! WTF?

Is that Sailing Around the World book easily available? That sounds very cool.

I'm pretty sure that Sailing Alone Around the World is easily available (I think it used to be required reading), but I found my copy at this very cool restaurant in CT where they give you 3 free books of your choice every time you eat there.

Thanks Cecile,
Love that place fms. Feed the mind and you feed the soul, but be very careful with those "alone in the great outdoors" books and films. I saw My Side of the Mountain when I was 10 or so and now I am addicted to outdoor activities. Tough to keep ahead of the ticks.

I just finished LOVING FRANK by Nancy Horan, a fictionalization of the affair (1909-1914) bet. Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. It's women's fiction but not vapid at all. Big scandal, early 20th century feminists, the hard choices a woman had to make, it was very very good.
Plus, there's a tragedy.
But I'll say no more cause it's a major spoiler.

I might read certain books this summer in a futile attempt to *impress* a particular woman -- does that count? Anyway, I'm enjoying "Spin" by Robert Charles Wilson. Later maybe I'll check out Haruki Murakami, Kobo Abe, and Gary Shteyngart. I strongly recommend Audrey Niffenegger.
Great show!

Hey, Cecile, right back at ya about CRAIG RICE, who I had never heard of. I googled her and I'm already hooked. For new noir by women, I heartily rec. Megan Abbott--she's noir and brutal and all woman, bay-bee!
she edited an anthology Hell of a Woman: An Anthology of Female Noir that I would definitely recommend.
Ike, you sound like you're on the right track with your reading list.
THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE is a very good read.

Yikes, totally pw3nd, dc pat. Just looked over my bookcase and found practically no titles by women. Gonna have to see to that.
Ike, it counts, as long as you really read them.
Mon. 6/23/08 11:23am
From:

Ike in this day and age the fact that you are actually reading a book to impress someone is probably chivalrous.

From:

Right now I'm reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein which is fantastic, but I really recommend The Bird Artist by Howard Norman. An easy and quick read, but completely engrossing and utterly satisfying. Also totally unheard of for some reason.
Last book I really enjoyed by a woman was Miranda July's short story collection, No One Belongs Here More Than You.

Gum, every fan of NYS's Adirondack region knows of "Woodswoman" by Anne Labastille. And unrelated to the outdoors, but the similarity of the name brings her to mind, the work of Anne Lamott is noteworthy, espec. "Traveling Mercies".

I read Bird Artist. It was great. Truly love Flannery O'Connor, also Tennessee Williams, Faulkner...all that Southern stuff.
Mon. 6/23/08 11:37am
From:

Gumby, besides "The Time Traveler's Wife," which is one of my favorite books *ever*, I also recommend the Beggars trilogy by Nancy Kress.
Chivalrous? Really? Wow. We'll see if I actually DO get around to reading them. But I haven't really even met this person so it's tilting into windmills -- which is something I do a lot. This Kelley Stoltz song says it all.
Mon. 6/23/08 11:43am

Alright now I have TTTW , Woodswoman & Travelling Mercies on my list. Thanks everyone, maybe there is hope for me to unlock my mind yet. Ike windmills are making a big comeback. Parq the Adirondacks are my heaven, thanks.

I threw away my entire music collection this May. 30 gigs of edited music for the sake of throwing away something I love and something that is healthy. What will replace this? Will it be of equal importance? Give me equal joy? BW- you're like the first piece of bread for me after coming off a fast. Bread that taste better baked than not! Fight for boobs you New Yorkies!!
