Three Lost Months--Three for my journey, and one because it's only rock and roll:

I see I last updated this in mid-January. Hmmm... What have I read since then?

AGAINST LOVE by Laura Kipnis:
Yes, it's okay to be where I am... despite social norms that tell me differently.
(The shrink's perspective.)
Not exactly juicy, lyrical reading... but quite helpful to me at a time of, um, growth.

THOUGHTS WITHOUT A THINKER by Mark Epstein:
Basic Buddhist tenets, and their application to Western psychology. Not exactly juicy, lyrical reading... but quite helpful to me at a time of, um, growth. Bare attention, letting go... Excellent stuff.

SEX AT DAWN by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá:
Yes, it's okay to be where I am... despite social norms that tell me differently.
(The biologists' perspective.)
Not exactly juicy, lyrical reading... but quite helpful to me at a time of, um, growth.

LIFE by Keith Richards:
Now you're reading, girl! Keith is highly entertaining (but you knew that), and smart as a whip (I didn't know this... he is). A great read, a great voice on paper... especially compelling when he writes about finding a sound and the songwriting process. Sex and drugs and rock and roll.
