[quote=UCGal]Thanks for the recommendation. I just put a hold on it through the library. But there are 18 people ahead of me in the queue. That’s ok – it will let me finish “Being Mortal” – a very good book on aging/medicine/nursing homes/indpendence/etc… by Atul Gawandi.[/quote]
that gawande book is on my wife’s nightstand. on my nightstand: a new translation of stanislavski’s acting texts.
it’s just amazing when a book actually affects your life. ideas actually matter.
THE TIGHTWAD GAZETTE changed everything for me back in 2001.
