Jeff,
This is wonderful, I love books all kinds of subjects and by all authors and this is total book glutony. Thank you for sharing.
Shalom Daniella,
You’re most welcome. I do hope you find something of value.
B’shalom,
Jeff
Is Seducing the Demon by Erica Jong along the same lines as her book entitled ‘Witches’? Witches is one of my favorites in my library!
Shalom Christine,
First, thank you for stopping in, for reading and, most importantly, for taking the time to leave a comment. It’s all about the conversation.
Seducing The Demon is an autobiographical book that focuses on Jong’s writing life. I haven’t read Witches, so I have nothing to compare it to.
B’shalom,
Jeff
Jeff, I’ve been told that I need a twelve step program for my book addiction.
Shalom Moos,
I’d be lost without libraries.
B’shalom,
Jeff
Have you read Zenna Henderson?
My mom was a science fiction fan in the 50s – when she’d have to send her brother into the “adult” store to get her books, because they weren’t SOLD to girls… she read the Stories of the People in magazines, and had an old paperback collection. When I discovered Internet shopping, i looked for other books, and found Ingathering. I’ve successfully given it as gifts, twice.
My mom is aging, and I’m hoping to find the others in large print so she can see them. If not, i’ll see if she can stomach my voice long enough to have me read them to her, the way she read to me.
One of my fondest memories is a snapshot of my little brother at the table, waiting for breakfast. He must have been pre-teen. Sun shining on him as he read I Robot for the first time. (Stepford Wives made NO sense to me; didn’t levin know ANYTHING about the Laws of Robotics?)
Shalom Rebekah,
I first read Zenna Henderson in Fantasy & Science Fiction when I was a teenager.
B’shalom,
Jeff

[...] I’ve taken a few weeks off from publishing here, but not from reading, thinking and writing, and one of my accomplishments during this time has been to read the correspoindence of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. as published in Kurt Vonnegut: Letters, edited by Dan Wakefield. As has long been my practice, I copied out passages that I found interesting or thought producing for my electronic chapbook. [...]
