here, here!

two books going right now, one slowly and one quickly.  the one that is due at the library first is important material, but hard to read.  the other, totally absorbing and reminiscient of the heritage i come from.

the one that is slower going is "a train in winter:  an extraordinary story of women, friendship, an resistance in occupied france" by caroline moorehead.  i say important because i truly like history as well as stories of human strength and courage.  it's so very very non-fiction; more facts and not so much about how the facts affected women's individual lives, connections and relationships as i'd hoped.

what i really WANT to dive into and can't stop reading (but has more renewals at the library than the aforementioned) is "closer to the ground:  an outdoor family's year on the water, in the woods and at the table" by dylan tomine and is published by patagonia books. so refreshing!

of life, my friend says, "eat the best orange first" so in this case it might mean staying up too late to read what i want to...either way, this quote is true!
