Books..

'Tis winter - the season of reading. I like reading in summer also, but it's near impossible to do it outdoors here in New York. Too distracting.

I'm currently reading Maureen Dowd's "Are Men Necessary?" and next up, "Lilith's Brood" by Octavia E. Bulter. A friend who's a fellow sci-fi reader (more him than me, actually) recommended the trilogy (a complete series: Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago) .. and it's written by a black woman.. A nice change of the genre so dominated by white men.

I was browsing through Amazon.com and found "Deaf People in Hitler's Europe". Only one left in stock and something told me I should buy it now than later. I took the class at Gally in '99 and it included a trip to Budapest, Krakow and Prague. The trip was postponed a year later due to political instability in the Balkans. Didn't get a chance to go. Oh well. The class was very educational and added something new to the already dried up and redundant WWII studies. Anyways I'm very happy to report that I clicked the "add to cart" icon, it'll soon be part of my growing collection of Deaf Literature.
