Oh man what's a life long drinking problem, miserable attempts at love and some self hating issues when you can write like Ms. Parker and be a part of the Algonquin Round Table.
Veronica gave me this book and I could feel my life changing while I read it in Tompkins Square Park. Best part is that there are pictures!
It's a trip that transcends description. Fabulous first sentence.
The man behind Waimea Bay.
Hawaii's history told through one family's saga. I laughed , cried and learned. Moah Bettah in Hawaii.
These stories make me laugh so hard I can't breathe. The pain from laughter is my favorite sensation.
This book reads like Stein is sitting next to you dishing the dirt on the happenings in Paris in the early 1900s when Picasso and Matisse battled it out on the canvas and artists swarmed in every arrondissements. Alice was Gertrude's lesbian lover and wrote a cookbook that supposedly has a killer recipe for pot brownies. I never ate the brownies but first learned about them when I watched the Peter Seller's movie, I Love You Alice B. Toklas!. I was only in jr. high when my mother rented this flick about an unhappy Jew on the verge of a nervous breakdown when he drops his fiancee, takes up with a hippie girl and eats Alice's brownies.
Amazing look at the concept of evil and the human condition using complexity thinking. **Recommended by Retardo, my crazy ex, who used Bloom's conclusions to justify his evil ways. **
