so-soI had mixed feelings about this book. It had an interesting premise as the author used artifacts from her neighbor‘s life to build a fictional story about this woman. However I wasn‘t always excited to pick it up each time that I went back to it. I might have enjoyed it more if I read it straight through rather than squeezing it in between other reads.
pickChilds explores here the antiquities world, including the questions of who antiquities belong to and how they are best handled. There‘s a lot of food for thought here, but I don‘t think he goes far enough in analyzing his own motivations or, conversely, separating himself enough from each situation. A low pick for me.
This is actually a reread for me, mostly just because it's soothing and I couldn't remember which objects got picked!
I‘m having slightly mixed feelings about this one. I‘m at 25%. I‘ll bail around halfway if it doesn‘t even out. {Parts are great... parts are circulatory and boring.}
pickGreat children‘s book about the American natives! It includes lots of amazing crafts inside!
#artifact I keep this book “ as found “ from a book sale years ago. The only time I‘ve ever found a book in wraps from a commercial lending library ,rates clearly listed on the cover.The back features advertisers, San Francisco businesses, in the bottom corner is the little label next to # 84 that confirms it was printed in a union print shop.
Dark Laughter was a bestseller back in the day, Hemingway made fun of it in his book Torrents of Spring
