Don't get me started on Stephen King...I am attempting to read as much of his stuff as I can. I became a serious reader of his stuff after I read his Dark Tower series. Characters and scenes from his other works appear throughout this seven book set. I encourage anyone to read these books even if you have or haven't read anything by him before. Although it is slightly more interesting if you have at least read Salem's Lot and/or The Stand. Well anyway that is why I am reading a lot of his other stories, so I can go back and re-read the Dark Tower and be surprised at other similarities that I had missed before by sheer ignorance of some of his earlier yarns.

I was introduced to this children's book yesterday. Since, I read it over and over again. It's such a jewel that every grown-up should have on her bookshelf. I give some quotes here. (It's difficult not to quote the whole book.) You're on your own. (Not something we would like to accept.) And you know what you know.(Trust yourself.) you're too smart to go down any not so-good-street.(How often do I go down streets I should never have!) And when things start to happen, don't worry. Don't stew. Just go right along. You'll start happening too. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. (This got some eyes rolling.) Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't.(So simply put - in a children's book.) You'll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump.(Always ouch.) And the chances are, then, that you'll be in a Slump.(Can't win?) Un-slumping yourself is not easily done (That's the truth.) Then the writer describes the "Waiting place", where you do not want to stay, but moving away from there, you land where there are scary things "that can scare you so much you won't want to go on." Now this is a honest, but upbeat children's book, worth having! And it gives good advice too! "And never mix up your right foot with your left"

My cousins high school graduation class speech was taken from this book, it was really interesting and inspiring to hear at the time, and really put a new perspective on the book for me. I never realized before then that it had so much meaning

If a reader wanted to know what is going on in feminist theory or philosophy at present, what would be a good book to start with?

I am sharing a recent book, and he does refer to many other feminist works...to do with the feminine divine. It is called the Savage Breast.....a hauntingly personal journey to find the feminine Goddess that is part of so many other cultures, but has been lost to North America. website is: savagebreastbook.com Hope you like it.

The is a wonderful novel called "The poisonwood Bible" that is a little in the genre of ecofeminism. IT is a long story told from the perspective of five 20th century white christian women droppped into the sparsely populated regions of Africa with their father's mission. It is also a great perspective on cross-cultural experience. Not male-bashing though
What about that 19th century Russian lit?
