In the middle of Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. On deck is another Steinbeck book that he wrote along with Robert Capa about a trip to Russia the two of them made in the 40s. It's called A Russian Journey. I also got a copy of Capa's WW2 memoir, Slightly Out of Focus.

I just went to see an exhibition called "Capa in Color" at the International Center for Photography in NYC and now I'm slightly obsessed I also have a bio and in my shopping cart on Amazon is a copy of Inventing Robert Capa about early years, his relationship with Gerda Taro in the 30s, and how the two of them really did 'invent' Robert Capa. Taro, incidentally, was the first female war photographer to die in action. She was establishing a reputation for her photography which, had she not died so early, might have been as significant as Capa's.

I've never understood why people detox. Eat healthy and be active. Can you make me aware?

Sure.

The premise of the book is that people have accumulated some toxins. The Detoxification is an attempt to rid the body of those toxins. Not everybody eats healthfully.

Well, let me know how it works out. I had a good friend that went on a detox for a week, and I couldn't imagine how one week of therapy could undo so many years of bad habits.

I have that book. Autographed by the author. From when he spoke in DesMoines.

Awesome. Do you read a lot of books in that same genre, anything else interesting?

I also have Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. It was recommended to me by a friend that is turning me into a conspiracy theorist. It looks interesting and I can't wait to dive in

That genre is practically all I read. I have lots, and they're all interesting to me. I also subscribe to The New American (semi-monthly periodical) straight shooter, my favorite mag.

Any recommendations?

We're reading as a family right now with my kids and are journeying through the Chronicles of Narnia.

I did that series with my son @ 28 yrs ago! It is a great thing to read as a family, we have special memories of that series and you will not regret doing it.
my parents really got us reading and am so thankful. As a parent, it is the best thing I passed on to him

just finished 'True Compass' by Ted Kennedy and am back to Michael Connelly.

Yup. Did that about 40 years ago.

The 10 day detox is not intended to override years of bad habits, but merely to flush the toxins from one's body. The supplanted habits come next.

Wifey started it first, and she is still in the 10 days, but has lost weight and feels much better.

Started reading Bearers of the Black Staff again because I have four or five new books by Terry Brooks in the Shannara series to read.

 

[wyogirl]

I'm rereading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Partly because the Starz adaptation starts this August and partly because the latest book just came out and it's been 5 years between it and the last one.
