Wendy's Recent Updates

Wendy gave to: Humming the Blues: Inspired by Nin-Me-Sar-Ra, Enheduanna's Song to Inanna by Cass Dalglish read in March, 2009	My rating:
Sumerian jazz poetry. Wow. I saw Cass Dalglish read from her interpretations of the poems of Enheduanna, the first author ever (!) to sign her work, and I was entranced. This book takes my breath away.

Wendy gave to: Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich read in January, 2001	My rating:
I appreciated very much what Ehrenreich did to make this book possible. But some of her assumptions struck me as just a wee bit flawed, and in the end, her lack of conclusion left me feeling somewhat disappointed.

Wendy gave to: Reading the Forested Landscape: A Natural History of New England by Tom Wessels read in January, 1997	My rating:
I fell in love with this book when I read it just months after it was first published. I re-read much of it while spending two months in Vermont in 2011, and came to love it again.
