My Reviews
Interesting book about how desire and perceived scarcity leads to the valuation of items. Not being a jewelry person, I was not surprised by the revelations about gems. I had also read a previous book about diamonds so I was aware of DeBeers' ploys to keep diamonds "valuable".
As the oldest member of my book club, I did not know who Mindy Kaling was. I enjoyed reading about her life and discussing the book with the younger members who are closer to Ms. Kaling's age.
A stark telling of the lives of marginalized people facing evictions from low end rentals
I cried so hard at the end of this book! And the ending was no surprise!
A well written memoir about a young surgeon dieing from cancer.
A sad tale of a woman who discovers she has early-onset dementia.
I will never open the microwave without fear...
At first I wasn't sureI would like this book, but the further I got into it, the more I enjoyed it. I thought the idea of someone traveling between towns reading the news for money seemed silly, but then I realized that not everyone was literate or had the time and/or money to read newspapers. And it was a form of entertainment for people in the towns, which is the premise of the story. Along the way he picks up a little white child who has been living with the Native Americans and is being repatriatedto her extended family (her parents were killed when she was captured).
