Lush life 2 - the books! #whartonbuddyread
I recently learned that the block of the park closest to my office was designed as Men Only back in the early 1900s.
There is a similar block 2 streets down that was for Women. I am glad we were equal (? At least they are the same size and both have bathrooms) but it really makes me determined to sit at the closer male side whenever I can. It's a good attitude for Nina Simone.
#whartonbuddyread - I‘m finally starting. Chat Saturday!
Tis the season. My therapist is out sick, the appointment is already on my work calendar so I am taking a moment away.
Reading about the incomparable Nina Simone
I just read George M. Johnson's Flamboyants, which is an introduction to several icons from the Harlem Renaissance. So of course I had to read some of their poetry.

#whartonbuddyread - how committed are you? 🙂 Here‘s the plan for Wharton‘s notoriously unrevealing autobiography. We‘ll learn what she wants us to learn about her parents and Henry James, etc - I think.
Are you in?
Plan:
Nov 22 chapter I-V Friendship and Travels
Nov 29 chapter VI-VIII Henry James
Dec 6 chapter IX-XI Paris
Dec 13 chapter XII-XIV And After
