My family taught me to think of God and be very afraid. The MAD Jews taught me to look heavenward and ask the ancient, resonant question us misfits and outcasts have posed since time immemorial: What, me worry?
Not just a prolific inventor, Edison apparently possessed stylish penmanship. A lot of photos of pages from the original journals or their manuscript copies in this collection, this is the first one in I could easily read.

pickA work of entwined fiction and non-fiction, Cohen muses on the unsaid within interactions between the men and women heavily responsible for American cultural history.

The concept sounds perfect for me…quietly reading in the company of other book lovers, enjoying a beverage and then socializing/sharing what I‘m reading.
