Book exchange!

1. Stopping in Cincinnati unexpectedly really threw me off and my feet itch sooooo badly. My parents keep begging me to stay but I can't. No longer! Tomorrow morning bright and early I'm heading for the on-ramp (much to my parents' dismay) and we'll see how far south I can make it by night fall

I always felt that way about reproducing, for sure. But then.... then I fell in love and had a surge of hormones. But I understand what yer saying.

I love the Kin of Ata... I have just begun Primitive Mythology (by Joseph Campbell) and so far that's very good. Have you read the Clan of the Cave Bear? It's a series, but I've only read the first. It was wonderful and I couldn't put it down.

We have the Farm's cookbook in our house and in the back of it there is this picture of pregnant women in graduated heights. And when my friend Kathleen came to visit, who did a natural-building-internship-thing at the Farm, she saw the cookbook and said, oh yeah! I've been to the farm!

and my roommate, who had remarked on the pregnant-women picture, said "Is EVERYBODY THERE PREGNANT ALL OF THE TIME?"

and Kathleen said no.

That's what I have to say! Come to my house and we'll feed you homemade sourdough!

It's funny, though, because in the Spiritual Midwifery book they said that for a while the farm was poppin' out over 20 babies a month, which is just NUTS!
When I was at the farm, though, I didn't see that many babies.

And yes, I want to come to your house and eat your sourdough. So bad. I'll let you know what happens post-Boston. Maybe Philly, maybe not. <3

I've been reading everything by Isabel Allende. Oh, and the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman - atheist children's books with armored polar bears! And I'm re-reading The Politics of Rage, about George Wallace.

wow we haven't communicated in forever, but you ask of books and i remain a book nerd to death, so:

kiffe kiffe tomorrow: faiza guene
about a moroccan girl growing up in paris. neat.
lunar park: brett easton ellis
semiautobiographical, dude is effed up.
lust lizard of melancholy cove -or- island of the sequined love nun: christopher moore
freaking hilarious, same guy who wrote lamb: the gospel according to biff which apparently everyone else has read.
the heart is deceitful above all things: jt leroy. this book is terribly disturbing, about a kid who just gets a shitty turn no matter what, nothing good like ever happens, but it's fucking brilliant.
ender's shadow: orson scott card, the sister book to ender's game if you've read that. almost the same story but from a totally different perspective. really really good.
nightfall: isaac asimov and robert silverberg, crazy sci-fi, but ultra good. i been realizing how closely sci-fi correlates with human nature and the things we do. k i'm done. guess you're doing well but if you

it's true. the last time we communicated I dropped three year old love letters off at your job, which, by the way, I hope you enjoyed.
Thanks for the book recommendations!
I hope it will be a while before I'm in Cincinnati again. But perhaps I'll give you a call when I get back (:

[my_oh_my]

that'd be sweet. i really did enjoy the letters. who knows though. if it'll be as long as you hope it will before you're back, maybe we'll be outta here too. i resonate with the want-baby-now feelings, but i'm tryin to wait until we settle somewhere i want to be, not freakin cincinnati. talk to you sometime.
