It's a book that deserves broader circulation. <br />I'm stunned and surprised by the revelations.<br />You are so smart and wise, Diane, to avoid Fire and Fury like the plague. So far I've listened to the 52 percent point, and I feel I'm done. I don't think it enlightens anything that most consciously news-literate Americans know already. So, you're not missing anything.<br />And yes!! Skimming a print book would be so ideal, because audio forces to listen along to everything.<br /> Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-84935653942313500422018-02-11T18:24:04.962-05:002018-02-11T18:24:04.962-05:00Our book group will be reading: Killers of the Flo...Our book group will be reading: Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI , later this year. I hear it's very good.<br /><br />My husband bout my Fire & Fury and do you know, I cannot stomach the thought of reading any more about Trump right now. I feel bad as he paid full price.

It's still to this day required reading in many schools and colleges. And I haven't read it--oh, dear! Not too late, though.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-45242579337562785242018-02-09T15:43:03.651-05:002018-02-09T15:43:03.651-05:00Ah I remember now that you mentioned you were knit...Ah I remember now that you mentioned you were knitting a 'throw' or 'afghan'. It sounds like it'll be gorgeous with all those colours. I'm not great with lace patterns either, you have to concentrate so much on them, and like you I enjoy knitting whilst doing something else so it's easy to be distracted at a crucial point. I'm going to be reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee soon, Jack read it years ago and was really moved by it.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-90969502171039653932018-02-08T18:50:25.811-05:002018-02-08T18:50:25.811-05:00Katrina, I forgot to say that the reading about th...Katrina, I forgot to say that the reading about the Osage murders has been fascinating, yet has made me extremely angry, once and again, at the huge, overwhelming weight of the injustices against Native Americans.

This one caught my interest--it's composed of 16 knitted squares, each about ten inches square, each in a different decorative stitch, and each block in a pizazz color. Sunflower yellow, spring green, cobalt blue, fuschia, hot red pepper, and aqua or a bluesy turquoise. The cable patterns have been no problem, because I've knitted lots of different kinds of cables in the past. But, omg, the lace patterns are difficult for me. I've been studying these stitches on YouTube and in books and am still trying to get it. I struggle onward, as we all must, in the era of the demented POTUS.

If I finish Portrait of a Lady any time soon (which seems doubtful given its 23 hour duration) I may use an audible credit and go that route instead.<br /><br />Have been waffling on Fire and Fury, but I think you've got it right with the political entertainment label... and LOL at Madame DuFarge!!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
