pickThis is an interesting work of psychology. It‘s a collection of essays inspired by Jungian theories of the collective unconscious and dream symbolism. Of course, Jung‘s essay is the stand-out of the bunch. I listened to this but got the paperback to reference images and interpretations of art. Very interesting book!
It's cold and rainy outside, perfect excuse to start another book
pickThis was recommended to me by one our library trustees. She wasn‘t making a statement, she just really connected with this book. And I see why - it‘s a great examination of how and people connect, how to deepen connections or what can weaken them. I listened to this, and often what he was saying would trigger a thought or memory that meant I missed his next idea!
A fantastic day is one spent shopping for books at your local bookstore ♥️
pickCharlie White passed away on his 109th birthday in 2014. The author was neighbor and friend to this centurion and was regaled with 100 years of memories. I loved reading this but realize I‘m biased because there is many a Kansas City reference here. Also, my grandfather was a medical doctor (wish I knew his professional story better now) in the same era as Charlie so I found his description of pre vs post WWII doctoring fascinating.
so-so2.5/5⭐ Eh. A quick, mispell-laden adventure through friendship and life. It felt cursory and didn't really resonate with me. #buzzwordathon
"I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart for the joys of the multitude. And I would not have the tears that sadness makes to flow from my every part, turn to laughter. I would that my life remain a tear and a smile.
A tear to unite me with those of broken heart; a smile to be a sign of my joy in existence."
