We love a good book. More than that, we love a good book that knows how to weave great writing with explorations of and musings on food in all its shades. Here, we’ve rounded up five we’ve especially enjoyed over the years -- perfect summer reads to lose yourself in and, why not, inspire you to cook.
A Half Baked Idea
This recipe-filled memoir by the brilliant Olivia Potts is full of love, cake and resilience. In it, Potts tells the story of how the sudden death of her mother led her to give up her law career to train as pastry chef, fall in love, and learn to deal with grief through baking really, really good puddings.
Interspersed with recipes ranging from passionfruit pavlova to her mother's shepherd's pie, it is both heart-breaking and hilarious, life-affirming and incredibly touching.
The Comfort Food Diaries
Emily Nunn's road trip-meets-food memoir about heartbreak, love and the quest for perfect food chronicles her journey to heal old wounds and find comfort in the face of loss through travel, home-cooked dishes, and the company of friends and family.
Ultimately, this is a story about finding home -- with lots of brilliant recipes along the way.
Bookshop | Kindle | Hive | Waterstones
The Gastronomical Me
A brilliant collection of essays by the even more brilliant M.K. Fisher, The Gastronomical Me centres around food but really it’s about life, stretching from the author’s childhood to her life in France, the beginning of World War II, the dissolution of her first marriage and the death of her second husband. A must-read for anyone who loves foodie-type books.
A cookbook and culinary memoir by Fanny Singer about growing up as the daughter of revered chef/restaurateur Alice Waters, this is a story of food, family, and the need for beauty in all aspects of life -- and of course, a love letter to her brilliant mother.

Midnight Chicken (& Other Recipes Worth Living For)
Roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches and burnt-butter brownies are just some of the recipes in Midnight Kitchen that’ll make you want to head to the kitchen and pick up a pan. But beyond its mouthwatering dishes, what we most love about this tender book by Ella Risbridger is that it’s a manifesto of moments worth living for, and a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.

At eighteen, Adria Lovett can think only of making her come-out and finding the love of her life. Until, scant weeks before leaving for London, her world crumbles around her, pitching her into a situation shockingly contrary to anything she has ever known.
And yet, though far from London, Adria finds herself surrounded by a bevy of young men—none of them what she envisioned when dreaming of her future. There is Dudley Greystoke, who should be Sir Dudley but is not; Chandler Satterthwaite, who has strayed far from the fold of his father, the vicar; the supposedly reliable Ned Steadman, son of the local squire; Garth Maddox, son of a gamekeeper, who calls himself Myrddin, the Welsh name for Merlin. And Drake Kincade, son of a wealthy merchant—the Drake Kincade, known to many as “the Devil’s Spawn,” who has fled to the country to escape a bride selected by his father.
And then there is Dudley Greystoke’s twin sister, Daphne, a young woman as willful as she is beautiful, who plunges Adria into the world of witchcraft—a world already complicated by a barrage of evil deeds ranging from nasty pranks to murder.
Grimoires, spells, devil-worship, rape, and murder—not at all the Season Adria dreamed of.


If you happen to find yourself at home right now with nothing to do, we have just the thing for you. In a collaboration between our Sphaera staff, we made a list of book recommendations with something for everyone. From interesting academic related topics to thrilling novels, this list will take you from your desk to the couch and back.
If you want to keep up to date on what is going on around the world, or learn about a new subject your study perhaps does not focus on, we have got some books related to academia we would like to recommend.
The first recommendation in this category is The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America by Timothy Snyder. In this book, which was released in 2018, Snyder explains the rise of authoritarianism after the end of the Cold War, despite the assumed “end of history” and the victory of liberal democracy. He thoroughly explores anti-democratic trends and developments in Russia, Europe and America in a unique and immersive way. It is suitable for anyone who wants to read a sharp, clear statement on our current political climate.
Tip: “If you don’t feel like reading 300 pages, Snyder also published On Tyranny (2017), which covers many of the same issues, but in approximately 120 pages.” – Juni Moltubak
Another interesting read on the same topic, put forward by Juni as well, is Identity: Contemporary Identity Politics and the Struggle for Recognition. This book is written by Francis Fukuyama and was published in 2019. In this book, Fukuyama starts by defending his infamous claim that the world had reached “the end of history” a couple of decades back. He then goes on to explore the history and development of identity and the human need for recognition and dignity. The book discusses identity and dignity in relation to politics, religion, nationalism, and individualism, to name a few. “It touches upon subjects that can make the mind wander for hours but is nevertheless easily read and definitely not a book to pass by.” – Juni Moltubak
If you are looking for a book more related to geopolitics, Flashpoints: The Emerging of Crisis in Europe by George Friedman might be the book for you. In his 2015 book, Friedman starts by giving a brief history of Europe through the lens of his familiar history as a Hungarian Jew, the experiences of his family throughout the second World War and their escape from communism. This history allows Friedman to explain a few important concepts, such as the history of borderlands, the (false) notion of Europe being a peaceful continent, and the influence of the Enlightenment and Nationalism on Europe. In the second half of the book Friedman describes a variety of flashpoints in today’s Europe, ranging from military escalation on Russia’s borders to the geopolitical consequences of the power struggle between the Germans and the French within the European Union.
“Friedman’s credentials as a skilled geopolitical forecaster and strategist lend a lot of credibility to his predictions and conclusions. While these predictions might not turn out to be completely correct in the coming years, the reasoning behind them is what makes the book such an interesting read for anyone with an interest in the contemporary geopolitical situation in Europe.” – Tom Schulte
Now, this next book recommendation is a bit tricky in terms of categories, as we would not directly call it academics, yet it is not your typical leisure reading either. Nonetheless, Swimming With Sharks: My Journey Into the World of Bankers is a fascinating book, written by investigative journalist Joris Luyendijk. In this book, published in 2015, Luyendijk provides the reader with a look into the banking world post the 2008 financial crisis. The book is filled with rich descriptions of Luyendijk’s meetings with people in the sector. In the end, his main goal is to find out if practice changed after the global financial crisis, which in turn is interesting from a policy point of view. “For someone like me, who does not necessarily have an affinity with economics or banking, this book makes that world understandable. It’s not purely a technical book but also makes you get to know the people behind these big, intimidating banks.” – Eva Bajema
The last recommendation in this category is Putin: Prisoner of Power (An Audible Original). In this series of podcasts, Misha Glenny talks us through the details of the fascinating way in which Putin turned the tables against the very people that put him in power. Once again establishing strong governmental control in Russia. “Putin: Prisoner of Power not only provides a compelling historical narrative, but it also gives insight into Putin’s strategy and way of thinking. I would highly recommend this audiobook to anyone interested in global politics.” – Jacco van der Veen
Looking for something a bit less realistic? Moving on from academia, we will soon dive headfirst into the world of fiction. Our recommendations range from novels, to poetry, to nonfiction works, so no need to feel distressed if the previous recommendations have not yet caught your fancy.
Starting off with some beautiful poetry, The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace follows the storyline of a woman from early childhood to adulthood. The book touches upon some sensitive topics, regarding difficult relationships, losses, and the journey to accepting and loving oneself. “Although sometimes quite raw, the book truly manages to capture the essence of how difficult it can be to learn to accept and love yourself.” – Helena Reinders
The next book we would like the recommend is a work of non-fiction called The Choice, written by Edith Eva Edger. This book captures the memoirs of a psychology professor who survived Auschwitz. It manages to show how things cannot always be ranked as black and white and gives people ingredients to really see certain aspects of themselves. “I think it’s the type of book that will reach different people in different ways, but I can’t imagine it not leaving you in a sense of awe.” – Max Sarel
If you are looking for a book of fiction to get lost in, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy might just be for you. Without spoiling too much, it is a tale of two fraternal twins navigating their relationship with their unique and complex family, their distant mother, and the messy world around them. The narrative shifts between when the twins are children, in the nineteen-sixties – and twenty years later when they reunite as adults. At first glance, its non-linear structure might be difficult to follow. However, it is exactly this structure that provides the reader with in-depth knowledge on the different perspectives touched upon in the book. “I loved this book so much. I heard about it after reading that it made aspiring writers insecure, as it was Roy’s first published work. It is often referred to as a masterpiece, and I couldn’t agree more. There are so many underlying themes – racism, inter-caste and forbidden love, religion and the lasting effects of colonialism even on the most negligible of interactions. It is a work of art that challenges the social mores of India and what it means to belong.” – Yasmina Al Ammari
Now, if you are looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat all throughout, we recommend One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus. The story follows four high school students and their perspectives on the death of their fellow classmate Simon. Although these classmates do not seem to have much in common, they are soon connected when they are all suspected of killing Simon only hours before he would launch their biggest secrets on his gossip app. “Although the initial concept might seem like any other book, it is so well written that you can really never find out what happens until the writer wants you to. This book can only be described as a real page-turner.” – Helena Reinders
Another great novel is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Behind the wacky title is a heartwarming story about a group of people who had nothing in common except their desire for friendship and an unquenchable thirst for books. As the only British territory to ever succumb to Nazi occupation, the inhabitants of the remote island of Guernsey have plenty of stories to tell, but none as fantastical as the tale of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Written in the form of a series of letters, Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows masterfully describe how the love of books can turn strangers into friends, and loneliness into companionship. If the book sound appealing, but you’re not quite convinced yet: it has also been turned into a Netflix film. “It’s a feel-good novel with the power to put a genuine smile on your face, perfect for anyone looking for a way out of quarantine boredom.” – Karolína Hajná
Also described as ‘the single greatest novel ever written’, Anna Karenina follows the story of a sophisticated woman who decides to leave her old life behind and follow her passions. With catastrophic consequences. Based on a true story, this novel, first published in 1878, is a true classic which still resonates with the current state of affairs; of decadent high lives and the obliviousness of those in power. Yet, the story also plays on the reader’s empathy in a wicked manner, sprinkling tragedy on all fronts. “I rekindled with it hoping for a welcome escapism to a glitzy ritzy Imperial Russia while holed up in my room, only to be hit with a story that is entrancingly multifaceted: tragedy, romance, politics… a story told by many, for many. I picked up Anna Karenina to escape, but I found myself pulled into the story because, in some ways, the novel is critical of the upper classes of those times, without necessarily alluding to class struggle. Doom packaged in a pretty casing – definitely not an escape, but a hell of a good read. And it is long, which makes it the perfect quarantine goal.” – Zhayra Geraldine
What better time to catch up on some post-colonial fictional literature? Egyptian author Waguih Ghali’s Beer in the Snooker Club was published shortly before his eventual suicide in 1969. Although the book is ostensibly fiction, the storyline eerily mirrors that of the author himself. Beer in the Snooker Club follows the story of Ram and Font, two young men educated in Western-styled institutions, self-loathingly trapped on the fringes of the property-owning class of Egyptian society. The book is told entirely from Ram’s perspective, a young ‘intellectual’ grappling with his disillusionment with the superficialities of the upper class, the realities of Europe, imperialism’s flesh-eating ways and his own insincerity. “A must-read for any fans of Fanon looking for a fictional spin.” – Caitlin Elston-Weidinger
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities and stress or are seeking to introduce more balance and calm in your everyday life, you should grab The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to Be Calm in a Busy World by Haemin Sunim. Through a series of short messages, the author shows that when you slow down, the world slows down with you. Haemin Sunim, renowned Buddhist meditation teacher, offers his views and advices on many aspects of our lives, such as relationships, spirituality and love. “The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down is bound to capture you not only with its simplicity and readability, but also with its stunning, picturesque illustrations.” – Karolína Hajná
If you enjoy dystopian novels, you cannot miss The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. The book explores the themes of a global infertility crisis, radical religious fanaticism, the purging of rights, and individual resistance despite it all. What this book does differently is that this is not the virtuous unemotional one woman toppling the evil regime narrative we have been used to. It’s the story of Offred and how she became handmaid, a vessel that brings children for barren commanders and their wives, and her effort to find her stolen daughter. A very personal and moving story. “You’ll love it. The Handmaid’s tale is 1984 from a female perspective.” – Chira Tudoran
Are you interested in 20th-century history? Then The Quiet American by Graham Greene might be the right fit for you. In this classic, journalist Thomas Fawler is situated amid the First Indochina War, fought between the French and its allies and North Vietnam. Fawler is experienced in his job and cynical in his view of the war and the environment he found himself in. His perspectives are defined by the struggles of reporting a war against Western colonialism as an Englishman, and the love affair he has developed with a local woman. “In all his novels the main characters deal with doubts and internal conflict, something Green himself also had to deal with in his life. His stories are situated in difficult environments that directly affect the story but never serve as more than one of the themes of his books. Whether it is the underworld of Brighton (in Brighton Rock), the Blitz of London (in The Ministry of Fear) or the political elite of Panama (in his non-fiction work Getting to know the General): all his books are built on solid stories that reflect the struggles his characters have with their surroundings and themself.” – Tom van der Meij
Our last recommendation of this list is The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa. This book, partly written from the perspective of a cat, follows Satoru and his cat Nana. The story explains how the two came to meet and gives us peeks into the past of the characters involved. Throughout the story, it becomes clear that Satoru is looking for a new home for Nana, beginning their adventure on the road. “A great book on friendship, loss and the concept of home. Don’t be surprised if you end up shedding a tear at some point, especially if you are a cat lover.” – Helena Reinders
We hope this list will help you to find a new book to indulge yourself in. In these uncertain times, it is important to find joy in the small things and find ways to relieve some of the stress you are undoubtedly feeling. Stay safe and let’s all meet again soon.

Pat McCarthy’s report from the 8th International Meeting on Indigenous Child Health–Jon’s Tricky Journey
Jon’s Tricky Journey was funded by a C17 Council Education Research Grant
I had the good fortune to be able to attend and present a poster abstract at the 8th International Meeting on Indigenous Child Health, held in Calgary, Alberta, March 22-24, 2019. This was an amazing experience with pediatrician’s, nurses and child and youth advocates from many countries attending. The conference was organized by both the Canadian and American Pediatric Societies in collaboration with numerous First Nations, Metis and Inuit associations. This conference is held every two years, and I would encourage anyone to attend.
The plenary, oral, and poster presentations were all very thought provoking and challenged participants to think more about the health disparities and systemic barriers that exist for aboriginal peoples around the world. At the same time conference participants were inspired to think about how they could, as individuals, pick up the challenge and make a commitment to become allies in relationships with aboriginal peoples, to change and improve the health outcomes for indigenous children.
My poster presentation about my book Jon’s Tricky Journey was very well received, and I was especially touched when a young pediatric oncologist from Seattle came to see me and kept thanking me for producing this book. I gave her a big hug and a copy of my book, and she told me she could not wait to give it to a young Inuit patient from Alaska she was working with. Alaska has a large Inuit population called the Yupik.
Jon’s tricky journey is a bilingual publication, written in both English and Inuktitut. Accompanied by a resource guide for parents and caregivers, including hospital and support information, Jon’s Tricky Journey opens a conversation between Inuit children facing a cancer diagnosis and their families to help make a difficult and confusing time more manageable.
My book is available to order through Fitzhenry & Whiteside customer service at 1-800-387-9776, and at bookinfoatfitzhenry.ca
It is also available for order on Amazon in both Canada and the USA, and at Chapters/Indigo stores.


Art can be a curious thing. Within its many folds and many layers it conceals a strange paradox. While on one side it is said, for any creation to be truthful it has to transcend time and space and straddle the timeless horse on the other side nothing chronicles that same time, space and era as does the art of the time. Popular art for centuries has provided a window to the aspirations, motivations and concerns of a time. Cinema by that yardstick is the most powerful chronicler of them because live medium of expression. In this series we will trace the story of one of the most enduring cinema houses of Hindi cinema and with it the story of us.
This story begins over three quarters a century ago when two brothers from a small town in Punjab began to secretly nurture a dream. It was a dream that was almost taboo given the time, characters and social milieu it germinated in. The first one to pursue this dream was the shy younger brother. After completing his graduation from Lahore, the diffident young man announced to his astonished father that he did not wish to take the sedate bank-job that was arranged for him. Instead he wanted to become an actor. It was an audacious dream for a middle-class boy, whose lawyer father was struggling to get a good education for his nine off-springs. The father was naturally skeptical at what seemed an ill-suited career-option for his introvert son, but seeing the boy’s determination, knew it was useless stopping him. Destiny is inevitable. And thus one morning in 1943, a twenty year old Dharamdev Pishorimal Anand boarded the Frontier Mail at Lahore to head for the city of dreams.
In those days, Bombay was a haven for all those whose eyes sparkled with stardust. Its allure was magnetic and thousands flocked to it in the hope of making their destiny. The pace and sophistication of the city intoxicated this boy from a small town and it was love and first sight. But reaching the city of dreams was only the beginning. Bombay was the high-ledge from where a dreamer could reach out and grab the stars, but it also was the deep crevice where millions of hopes crashed into nothingness. The young Dharamdev realized soon enough that he had miles to go before he even spotted a high-ledge to climb on, the stars were miles away. And therein started a period of struggle, a period, in which, the young Dev found a confidante and friend in his elder brother.
The elder brother, Chetan, ten years senior in age belonged to what was the budding artistic intelligentsia of pre-partition India. Educated in England, he returned to marry the daughter of an eminent Bengali educationist and teach history at the prestigious Doon School in the Himalayan foothills. At a core level he too was inclined towards creativity like his younger brother but the middle-class upbringing and marital status made him hold on to the cushy security that his job offered. He would nevertheless find his release by writing plays and dabbling with IPTA in his spare time.
IPTA or Indian People’s Theatre Association was formed during the Quit India Movement in 1942 with the goal of building awareness through art. The organization had a strong leaning towards progressive and socialist ideologies and boasted of luminaries like KA Abbas, Homi Bhabha, Ali Sardar Jafri, Ismat Chugtai, Uday Shankar, Pt Ravi Shankar, Salil Chowdhury, Balraj Sahni and many more intellectuals. Under the aegis of IPTA these artists produced many memorable plays, dramas, ballets and films all underlining their leftist ideology. IPTA was a vibrant and thriving organization in the 40s and 50s and enticed many a progressive artist to its fold. IPTA also was a landmark organization because it was instrumental in helping performing arts break from the shackles of disrepute that was traditionally associated them and transform into a respected art form.
In the early days both the brothers dabbled with IPTA, the older one full time and the younger one part time. Even though the veterans there liked his affable presence they never did take him seriously as an actor. It is said that after he had miffed his lines multiple times Balraj Sahni is said to have slapped his forehead and said to Dev– ‘Yaar tu actor kabhi nahin ban sakta’ (I don’t think you can become an actor). But perseverance in the face of criticism was in his genes. Dev did persist.
The big break finally came with Prabhat’s ‘Hum Ek Hain’ in 1945. Around the same time big brother too chucked his teaching job to direct a highly acclaimed ‘Neecha Nagar’. ‘Neecha Nagar’, made with a team primarily culled from his IPTA associations, was a commercial disaster but went onto win accolades at the Cannes film festival.
After this film there followed a period of lull. The younger brother got bit roles and acting offers but nothing significant. The handsome, good-looking elder brother who wanted to direct got more offers as an actor than as a director. In spite of ‘Neecha Nagar’ no one was ready to hand him the directorial reins. Things were not going the way they had wanted them to go. Both the brothers realized that the only way for them to create the kind of cinema that was close to their hearts was do to it themselves.
And thus germinated the idea of Navketan…
In 1949 Chetan and Dev Anand got together and established a new film company. It was called ‘Nav’ because it was new and ‘Ketan’ stands for banner. It also was the name of Chetan Anand’s newborn son.
With Navketan a new branch of cinema came to life. The cinema that was meaningful, progressive, urbane and in retrospect, timeless.


The president of the Our Box of Books Association, Rita Dro, expressed her pride in seeing her dream come true and grow. Noting that reading enabled him to overcome many trials. According to her, thanks to the book “her companion”, she was able to acquire many things, in particular healing. “I adopted the books and they transformed me,” she says.
Rita Dro paid, on this occasion, a vibrant tribute to all those who believed in her project, particularly to Ms. Kouakou who brought her a lot by quoting a sentence that she liked to say. “When you have the book in yourself, you move away from many vices”, thus inviting the youngest to read.
She explained that she had this initiative to bring children’s books together to increase their knowledge.
David Kouamé, on behalf of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation, encouraged the president of this association for her efforts to encourage children to read. According to Mr. Kouamé, his structure wishes to strengthen its partnership to make children of Côte d’Ivoire “living magnifiers”.
On behalf of Bayard Africa, the Director of Operations, Daniel Grahi, pledged his support for the development of these book boxes. For him, these book boxes are “treasures”. He praised this initiative which, like its structure, militates to give children a taste for the passion of reading.
The first recipients of this project wanted to express their gratitude. Thus, the president of the children of the said association, Miézan Verane, presented the benefits of reading that are the acquisition of performance.
As for journalist Alex Kipré, he urged the association to improve by going beyond its limit.
Speaking to parents, he asked them to instill a love of reading in their offspring by indulging in reading themselves. Alex Kipré encouraged solidarity so that the book can live.
The president of the Our Book Box Association unveiled the program of activities for 2021, namely workshops in painting, slam, cooking, etc., discovery outing in Danané and many others that will take place every last Saturdays of the month.
I hope you are in health and well.

Eliane at the orphanage, Alouette at the beginning of her career, Doré at the top of the fashion world and La Grande Mademoiselle for the rest of her life. Eliane Doré is called many ways, and it’s because she had many lives. In her nineties, even if she is a fashion icon, her life remains a mystery. But time has come to reveal herself to the world. Eliane entrusts a talented reporter whose named Andrea Vincent with this task. Both complicated and touching, Eliane Doré story will turn every character’s life upside down.
The ex journalist Merle Jones dedicated her novel entitled Mademoiselle to her mother who she calls a “born survivor”. Obviously, the character of Eliane Doré has been both inspired by her mother and Coco Chanel. References to Coco Chanel’s life are numerous, from the time spent at the orphanage to her relationships with Nazis, including her several affairs and the death of the love of her life in a car accident. As Coco Chanel, Eliane Doré is tough, ambitious and independent. Three qualities which make her a heroin of fashion. Her quest? Freedom. To be free she needs money and with money comes power. That’s how she makes her fashion empire grow more & more every day. To succeed, Eliane Doré builds up a solid armor to cope with the bumps of life and to save face. Appearance is all she has, as she says when she is forced not to work because of health issues: “My work is my life. […] What am I to do with myself ?”. Now Eliane has reached independence she wants immortality.
Thanks to a clever mise en abyme, Merle Jones let the reader into the secret of Mademoiselle’s life. As we go along, we understand that the biography is probably an excuse to make Andrea Vincent meet Eliane Doré. Since she had a daughter with Duke Conway, Mademoiselle seems to have another idea in mind to become immortal. Mystery surrounds Mademoiselle’s intentions until the end of the book, so if you intend to read it, be prepared to love but also to hate Mademoiselle.


In April 1933, Felix Frankfurter assembled a group of three securities experts. "The team set to work on a Friday. By late Saturday they had a draft that, more than 60 years later, still constitutes the main body of the Securities Act. The Act is a masterpiece, an intellectual tour de force. It is fun to work with once you know how. For now, realize that when one works with the Securities Act, one plays a complex mental game devised by three exceptional minds, over a weekend, more than half a century ago. (Part of the probably apocryphal lore of securities law is that the Act was drafted not only over a weekend, but over a case of Scotch.)"

Consider the concept of bibliotherapy — the fact that books or stories can have a beneficial (therapeutic) effect on the reader or listener.
Children love books and stories. As a story-reader, YOU make the story come alive for the kids. The story flows through YOU!
To make that happen, you must really “get into” a book. You have to know the book — the story and the pictures (if there are pictures). Read it, work with it, define words, and work on pronunciation and emphasis.
Make sure you are prepared to use the expressions and emotions that are appropriate to each part of the story. For instance, you won’t want to stay in an excited, bubbly mode when you get to a line that says, “It made her so sad.”
BOOK: My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss — an illustration of using your voice to convey different feelings.
When you read books about feelings and allow the audience to share their comments and experiences about the feeling(s) dealt with in the story, you give them the opportunity to realize that others have some of the same feelings that they have. You can ask, “Have you ever felt that way?”
It’s important to learn the vocabulary — how to pronounce the words and what they mean. You need to be prepared for when children ask you. Feel free to skip a word or phrase or substitute a different word or phrase to maintain the meaning, but make it something you can handle.
BOOK: Alicia Has A Bad Day by Lisa Jahn-Clough (3 minutes) — It has a key word that you must learn ahead of time. “Lugubrious” which means mournful, often to an exaggerated degree. In the book, it means dark and dreary.
It’s good to ask questions as you begin a book, attempting to pull the audience into the story. For instance, for Alicia Has A Bad Day, you might ask, “Has anybody here ever had a bad day? If so, tell us what made it a bad day for you.” After some comments, read the story.
For the book, The Day I Saw My Father Cry, you might ask if anyone can describe a time they have seen an adult cry. “How did that make you feel?” and “How does it make you feel for an adult to see YOU cry?”
BOOK: Everett Anderson’s Goodbye by Lucille Clifton — Possible opening questions for this book: “What do you think this story might be about?” On the first page of the book, we learn that it was written “for my sad friend.” We learn from this story that Everett Anderson’s dad died…and that saying goodbye is not always easy. “Have you ever had trouble saying goodbye to someone?” Read the story.
Sometimes, you will want to pause during the story, asking a question to draw the audience more deeply into the story (or back into it, if they are drifting). You might ask a “Why do you think he/she (in the story) was feeling or acting that way?” After responses, you can continue with the story.
There may be times that you will only read part or parts of a book because of time constraints or because only part of the book relates to the theme of the evening or to the point you are trying to make. Being familiar with the book or story ahead of time will help you decide what sections or pages to skip if you are short on time and have to cut the story short.
If the pictures in a book are large enough for the audience to appreciate and if they add to the story, have one person read from one copy of the book and another person use a second copy of the book to show the pictures during the reading. If you only have one copy of a book, one person can read from a typed copy of the text while another person holds up the pictures for the audience to see.
Some books are appropriate for adults as well as children. My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss is one of those. Another is Lifetimes by Mellonie and Ingpen.
A book for grade school or middle school kids is Mick Harte Was Here by Barbara Park. It’s a small paperback book of about 84 pages, but a particularly helpful section is where the girl is talking to her dad about her brother’s death – and she finally admits that she felt that it was her fault. Dad offers a great response.
At the end of a book or story, you can make some comments or initiate interaction with the audience that can help create a transition out of the story and into the next activity. For instance:
• “After hearing that story, can anyone tell me why this book has the title it does?”
• “Now that you’ve heard that story, what might you say to a friend of yours who was feeling that way?”
• If your group is old enough, you might ask, “Did that story give you any ideas about how you might handle a similar situation the next time it comes up in your life?”
• After completing the book Alicia Has A Bad Day, you might ask, “Now that you’ve heard about Alicia and her bad day, do you have any ideas of what can help YOU handle a bad day the next time you have one?”
Finally, be flexible and sensitive to your audience. If you sense the need to pause to reflect or allow the audience to process the material (or to be supportive of each other during an emotional time), take the time. If you see that you are running out of time or if the group is too “antsy” to continue through the whole story, look for opportunities to shorten the story (skipping some of it or paraphrasing some parts of it).
Remember – pour yourself into the story and let it flow through you!

Ovation® Prokaryotic RNA-Seq System
The Ovation® Prokaryotic RNA-Seq System provides a method for the analysis of microbial species and microbiome samples by enabling whole transcriptome profiling. The core technology used in this product enriches for mRNA in NGS libraries, and can be applied to transcriptomes extracted from pure and mixed microbial cultures in an easy end-to-end workflow, from total RNA to sequencing. The first and second strand cDNA synthesis are carried out using proprietarily designed primers to create double-stranded cDNA . The resulting cDNA is compatible with NuGEN’s Ovation Ultralow Library Systems as well as other library workflows using double-stranded cDNA as input for the creation of sequencing libraries.
The Ovation Prokaryotic RNA-Seq System provides reproducible transcriptome profiles across all prokaryotic species in the classically defined Kingdoms of both Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. To date, we have validated the system’s performance across six bacterial species that cover a broad range of G:C base composition.
During construction of NGS transcriptome libraries, the first and second strand cDNA synthesis is performed in about 3.0 hrs with selective priming to enrich non-rRNA transcripts from bacterial and archaeal total RNA inputs. Sequencing libraries with optional use of multiplexing is performed in about 4.0 hrs with the Ovation Ultralow Library Systems or other suitable library construction methods.
Construction of NGS transcriptome libraries. 1st and 2nd strand cDNA synthesis with selective priming to enrich non-rRNA transcripts from bacterial and archaeal total RNA inputs.

The Wall – John Lanchester
How grim can things get? The answer suggested by John Lanchester’s new novel, is very grim indeed. The Wall presents a view of Britain after the ‘Change’ – when the older generation ‘irretrievably fucked up the world’ – as a bleakly monochrome, authoritarian, autarky North Korea in the North Sea. Lanchester’s Britain is surrounded by an immense sea wall, guarded by a conscripted garrison, to keep the world out and the natives in. For all its pessimism, it’s a powerful story, almost an allegory, a warning against the perils of isolationism and xenophobia.
Machines Like Me – Ian McEwan
This unsettling novel tells the story of the three-cornered relationship between Charlie, his girlfriend, Miranda, and Adam, an android. Set in London in 1982, it poses questions about artificial intelligence and how humans should interact with it, as well as about honesty, revenge and forgiveness. This is a world in which all is not as it should be, a sense of dislocation fostered by McEwan’s scrambling of the historical record. It’s an important literary contribution to the AI debate, one of the great questions of our time.
Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic – Simon Armitage
‘Poetry need not be an autonomous or hermetically sealed activity,’ writes Simon Armitage, a proposition which his latest collection, written for patrons as diverse as the Bronte Parsonage Museum and Sky Arts, well illustrates. He tackles the plight of war veterans and muses on the British countryside. There are some witty, short prose pieces, too; in one he describes David Bowie’s voice as being like ‘cigarette smoke blowing through a pre-loved clarinet’. Armitage writes with precision, humanity and whimsy.
Under The Camelthorn Tree – Kate Nicholls
This episodic memoir skips between southern Africa and London over a period of more than 20 years from 1994. It tells of the author’s life bringing up her children in the Botswana bush, surrounded by lions. It’s both charming (the bush life, wild animals and home-schooled children) and traumatic (rape, alcoholism and penury), a tale told with humour and unflinching honesty. One has to admire the author’s guts and tenacity as well as the courage and resourcefulness of her children, testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Around The World In 80 Trains – Monisha Rajesh
Trains are, Monisha Rajesh writes, ‘an open window into the soul of a country’. This account of her 45,000-mile, seven-month journey is packed with anecdotes of the random meetings and conversations that fill the long hours of transcontinental train journeys, learning much of the railways’ histories and folklore. Modern long-distance train travel may not be glamorous but it does lay on a constantly-changing human drama for the traveller’s delight – and occasional disgust.
Young Adult Fiction
Toffee – Sarah Crossan
Toffee tells the story of 16-year-old Allison, who runs away from her abusive father to Bude in Cornwall. There she takes refuge with an elderly woman, Marla, who suffers from dementia. The novel’s subject matter – child abuse, running away from home, dementia – is not comfortable but Crossan handles it with a deft touch, never labouring the point but never ducking it. The story is told through a series of blank-verse poems, which are effectively short chapters, a medium that succeeds triumphantly. Toffee is a beautifully-wrought, surprising, gripping book.
Beyond Brexit – Vernon Bogdanor
If you need a succinct, sober guide to the questions that lie behind the Brexit fiasco, something to cut through the sound and fury, Professor Bogdanor’s new book should be your first port of call. He was David Cameron’s tutor at Oxford.

You may remember Jacquelyn from the novel The Deep End of the Ocean, which was also an Oprah's Book Club pick back in the day. I believe the reason her novels have such an impact is that Jackie knows how to pull the reader into the story. The emotions her characters evoke transfers from the page to the reader and draws you into their world.
Here's what Second Nature is all about:
From the author of The Deep End of the Ocean and No Time to Wave Goodbye, comes the fierce and moving tale of one woman’s fight for her identity and her life when fate holds out a second chance.Sicily Coyne was just thirteen when her father was killed in a school fire that left her face disfigured. Twelve years later, a young surgeon, Eliza Cappadora, offers hope in the form of a revolutionary new surgery that may give Sicily back the grace and function she lost. Raised by a dynamic, tenacious aunt who taught her to lead a normal life, and engaged to a wonderful man who knew her long before the accident, Sicily rejects the offer: She knows who she is, and so do the people who love her. But when a secret surfaces that shatters Sicily’s carefully constructed world, she calls off the wedding and agrees to the radical procedure in order to begin a new life.Her beauty restored virtually overnight, Sicily rushes toward life with open arms, seeking new experiences, adventures, and, most of all, love. But she soon discovers that her new face carries with it risks that no one could have imagined. Confronting a moral and medical crisis that quickly becomes a matter of life and death, Sicily is surrounded by experts and loving family, but the choice that will transform her future, for better or worse, is one she must make alone.An intense and moving story of courage, consequence, and possibility, Second Nature showcases the acclaimed storyteller at her very best.
Stories are how we understand ourselves, and our history, our culture and traditions, and our beliefs. When something happens, you call someone and say, "I have to tell you a story you will not believe!" For people who tell them, stories are confer power. So say you're a bookish girl, skinny in all the wrong places, plump-y in all the wrong places, bookish and bespectacled, but you can make people stop in their tracks when you tell about the time the people opened the refrigerator at the divey little family motel in Fort Lauderdale and found what looked like a leftover fish sticked wrapped in aluminum foil, except it wasn't a fish stick. It was a severed human finger. It helps to have come from a family like mine, who put the dark tones in "color," because, most of the time, it was all true...
Tell me about Second Nature--what inspired it?
More than fifty years ago, on the west side of Chicago, where I was a little child, there was a fire at a school called Our Lady of Angels. Three teaching sisters and ninety-two children died. No one, not anyone, who lived on the west side, or in Chicago, was untouched by that fire. There was this strong sense for the survivors of having lived through something so transformative, it was not as though they have lived through it, but as though the fire somehow still burned. Like so many people my age and older, I was obsessed by the OLA fire, and thought of about twenty ways to write about it. Because medicine and science was my first love, the subject of transformation, especially for burn victims, which was the original goal of face-transplant surgery, was especially beguiling to me. In ten, fifteen years, when this story is set, face transplants will be more common, more aesthetically excellent and functional. And the same issues, of survivor guilt, pertain -- for survivors of tragedy and of transformation. Of course, eternally, I ask myself, what would you give to have your dreams come true? Would you pay the price? What if you knew that the price would be high, going in, and then the ante was upped by fate?
How did you choose the title of your novel?
There was a quote from Shakespeare about God giving you one face, and your making yourself another. I thought, it isn't just your appearance, it's your nature. Your second nature.
What made you choose your particular genre?
I wish I could write mysteries with a continuing character, like Tess Gerrittsen or Karin Slaughter or Dennis LeHane, but I don't have the mathematical turn of mind that takes, or deeply literary plot-ful fiction, like Ann Patchett, but I am not smart enough, or a truly scary ghost story, like Sarah Waters, so I write about ordinary people whose lives are transfigured by larger-than-life circumstances, because I am one. It's really difficult to balance ordinariness and extraordinariness, but that's what I keep trying to do.
What's the next project for you?
It's a genre-buster. It's about a man who finds a little child who has survived the Brisband tsunami, and the child has well, he has the most extraordinary of all powers. He's not a deity or a superhero, but there is a huge danger that he could be forced to become one...
What character from your books are you most like and why?
Vincent Cappadora, from The Deep End of the Ocean (and also, in s secondary role, in Second Nature). I run into the breach with all good intentions blazing, and I mess it up, and I keep trying, and it gets worse. I think the song My Stupid Mouth was written about me.
What are your hobbies--things you can't live without are non-book related? What do you do when you are not writing? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would that be?
Water. I can't live without it, and I feel panicky in landlocked places (such as where I live, Wisconsin, although not for long). It really is better down where it's wetter. I would dive or snorkel or swim every day for the rest of my life if I could. At the university where I am studying for my MFA, Southern New Hampshire University, the summer retreat is held on Star Island, thirty miles off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is one of the Isles of Shoals, that literally is an uninhabitable piece of rock, that was settled only because of the deep waters teeming with fish. Smutty Nose Island, and a particularly grim multiple murder that happened there in the Civil War time, was part of the book The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve. On Star Island, there's an old hotel where we stayed, and classrooms that formerly were turn-of-the-century homes, where we taught. In some of the rooms, not even a sink. The charming staff of college kids leaves you a jug of hot water to wash with in the morning, and you can only shower on a rota. After nearly two weeks, some of the faculty and the students were about to go nutty. I would have stayed forever and ever and ever.
If a reader asked you to recommend the BEST books to read aside from your own, what would they be?
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Betty Smith.
The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson
Charlotte's Web, E. B. White
Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte
From Here to Eternity, James Jones
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurtry
Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro
Out of Africa, Isak Dinesen
Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
State of Wonder, Ann Patchett
Master of the Delta, Thomas H. Cook
Still Alice, Lisa Genova
And then there are all the other books by Jane Austen and Fyodor Dostoyevsky and even Jonathan Franzen, and so forth, which I know are rather great, but for which I have no patience.
If you could have dinner with one author, who would it be?
Bill Bryson. I would have to wear a grownup diaper though, because I have frightened people on airplanes snorting ginger ale from my nose while reading his books.
Where can you be found on the internet?
I am very co-dependent on social media. I don't find it burdensome or intrusive. My oldest son quotes Lorrie Moore and says, I am the "duh" in fin de siecle. Speaking of a great writer, and a great dinner companion...


Nietzsche’s mark on the world could be summed up in three not-so-simple philosophies of thought: Eternal Recurrence, Übermensch and Will to Power–of course, we’ll try to simplify. Thereby making these ideas, or ideologies, understandable and having said that, we could filter Nietzsche’s final focal lesson down to one singular statement that he commonly used and was attributed to originate with the eloquent Greek, philosophizing poet named Pindar, “Become what you are!”
In order to begin understanding Nietzsche we should go back to his early years—learn about who he was in youth. If our purpose in reading and writing is to learn how better to think, than Nietzsche is a challenging starting point—for his thinking drove many away from him, and him from many (including the likes of Richard Wagner, the composer and his wife, Cosima) but it is no less profound or fundamental in allowing us to learn from reading and writing why we think the way we do—and why Nietzsche thought they way he did—and why so many misunderstood what he was saying in his masterful volumes—even his own sister misunderstood Nietzsche and did him, and his work, great harm by tainting it with the espousal of friendship to the Nazi’s Fuhrer, Adolph Hitler—long after Nietzsche’s death in 1900.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was the firstborn son arriving on October 15, 1844 in Röcken, Saxony to a Lutheran pastor and his wife. He was expected to follow in the footsteps of his father, but when Friedrich was five years of age, his father fell and died of the brain injury soon after. The family moved a year later to Naumberg. In his early school years, he was known as “the little pastor,” and he loved poetry and music. Growing up, he was surrounded by the feminine—he grew up living with his mother, sister, grandmother and two aunts. At 14, in 1858, he acquired a scholarship at an austere Lutheran private school where he first began his career of philology—the love of literature. He excelled at Ptorta, the school, leaving in 1864 at the age of 20. He thanked “God and the King,” indicating none of the revolutionary thinking that would become his over the course of his life time.
Moving to the University of Bonn, to study theology (the study of God) and philology (the study of literature), Nietzsche soon became disillusioned by religion and studied the works of Schopenhauer. However, this first professor of “will,” was extremely negative and forged the ideas of ascetically enduring life till it’s tragic, conclusive death. Nietzsche said, “Schopenhauer preaches asceticism and the denial of life. I shall teach the joyful affirmation of life!” Personally, I too, recall my own disfavour for the negative fate of serving a deaf god and hoped to make life joyful and rich—the pursuit of happiness—these are the affirmations of a young man with higher ideals for his own future.
In 1867, twenty-three year old Friedrich was sent to war and served a very short stint in the King’s army. After an incident with his horse he suffered a chest injury, and was dismissed from service. He began to think about academia and stated to a friend in a letter, “All writing is useless that does not contain a stimulus to activity.” A paradoxical statement when one realizes how weakly Nietzsche was over the course of his life. Previous essays that he’d written became prominent and the University of Basel wished Nietzsche to become a Professor of Philology. He was flattered and accepted the position, becoming the youngest, at 24, to ever receive such a position at the institution—but leaving after a mere ten years. He would state, “No entirely radical truth is possible,” referring to discovering truth in the life of a university academician. His health, always tenuous, was a good portion of the reason for his resignation. His disillusionment with the powers that be theologically and academically continued to grow. One should remember that Nietzsche had profound confidence in his own mind—he knew early on that his life’s writings were likely to be misunderstood, but one day his opus works would find an audience and his concepts of truth, morality and science would be heard as he intended. He said, “My time has not yet come; some are born posthumously!” Nietzsche knew he was well ahead of his time.
From 1879 to 1888, Nietzsche saw his most productive literary period. His eyesight troubled him and he tried working with typewriters of the day, the Hansen Writing Ball—a typewriting instrument of that era was one of his adventures. Peter Gast, a former student, became a kind of private secretary, even bowing to Elisabeth—Nietzsche’s sister, a constant thorn—when working on publishing works posthumously for his mentor. Gast was a musician named Heinrich Köselitz, whom Nietzsche renamed to the German term for guest or visitor.
Friedrich and Elisabeth would quarrel and reconcile constantly—she would be the instrument in the delivery of Nietzsche’s legacy, but not a good one. She was a strong Anti-semite—a position that Nietzsche could not hold. The racial hatred of the German society would ultimately alienate him to the point of demanding he was not of German birth, but rather, Polish nobility. “I feel kinship only with the most cultivated French and Russian people, but not at all with the so-called distinguished elite among my own countrymen, who judge everything from the principle: ‘Germany above everything’…” This statement alone indicates that Nietzsche was German (Prussian), but so disillusioned by the mindset of the German ego that he would shun it and claim ownership of Polish descent. He’d rid himself of any kind of passport April 17, 1869—remaining stateless to the end of his days.
The Lonely, Poetic Philosophizing Philologist
Nietzsche was a very lonely man, and even though he led a very social life through literary discussions, musical appreciation and academic intercourse in his first three decades, Nietzsche seemed never able to separate himself from his lonely pursuit of understanding—perhaps a modern example might be Stephen Hawking. Both men were/are challenged to maintain good health but each one has, or had, a very solitary journey to discovery.
Nietzsche’s solitude was self-prescribed as he continuously had fallings out when reaching conclusions of ideology in music, meaning of life, philosophy, politics, religion, philology, racial bias, etc.
So where do we put Nietzsche in the bookshelves of history’s library?
Let’s look at some of the titles of his works. Human, All Too Human; Beyond Good and Evil; The Gay Science (meaning The Joy of Science); The Anti-Christ; Thus Spoke Zarathustra; The Will to Power; Ecce Homo ( the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate in the vulgate translation of the John 19:5 verse, when he portrays Jesus scourged on the crucifix with a crown of thorns—the King James version of the bible says, “Behold the Man.”) are but the most fundamental works of the poetic, philosophizing philologist. His last work revealing his most common diatribe, “Become what you are.” We must remember this point. How could a man so obsessed with changing the world he was living in, rejecting even the artists, be writing about religion with such zest, blasphemous prose, and not be somehow moved by spirit? Perhaps, a spirit of creation demanding an escape from false structures in the institutions of faith present then—and now?
We could look at Nietzsche’s life and see his burgeoning capacity to hope become a lengthy slow, sinking into the reality of existence at his time—is it not very similar, for many, in our time? However, it is important to realize that Nietzsche was an optimist—not a nihilist. We could see a young man brought down by his horse to return to literary discourse, and constant discontent, trying to enhance, and change, the establishments of intelligence, theological belief, the arts and political powers. Nietzsche seemed consumed in the pursuit of creating a more intelligent, tolerant human culture—one that rose to creative excellence and originality. For him, the cultures of the day only copied what had come before. He could well have stated, “We think, therefore, we should become.” Instead of looking to the past Roman, Greek or Judaeo cultures for inspiration—Nietzsche wanted to see original thinking, change, growth and expansion of the human societies of the planet.
Nietzsche wanted the youth of the nations to unlearn what was being swallowed through traditional patriarchal and matriarchal structures. He said, “Only then can we produce our own cultures. Rather than follow the cultures of the past swallowing them whole like a crocodile swallows an antelope, leading to complete inertia. The goal of humanity cannot lie at the end of time, but only in its highest specimens.”
The dilemma we have with Nietzsche is that so much of his work unveils itself in the realm of fictional or poetic prose—he’s hard to understand—but he was so thorough in his historical education that we should attempt to be no less thorough in reaching conclusions of truth, morality and science.
Was he completely atheistic? Was he delusional? Was he a new messiah for an intellectual age? Or was he a German philosopher that has no relevance to our time, our place, our universe?
Let’s look at his three big theories. Übermensch, the Will to Power and Eternal Recurrence. Will to Power began with Nietzsche’s disgust with Schopenhauer’s “will to live.” The “will” doesn’t exist as an entity—it is our function to control and gain power—which can never be fulfilled so, therefore, we are destined to our sad fate—physical death—amor fati (love of destiny). “The purpose of the void is to realize we are void of purpose,” was a nihilistic introductory quote of the philosopher. However, Nietzsche combines his Eternal Recurrence theory with Will to Power with this quote;
“My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (its will to power) and to thrust back all that resists its extension. But it continually encounters similar efforts on the part of other bodies and ends by coming to an arrangement (“union”) with those of them that are sufficiently related to it: thus they then conspire together for power. And the process goes on.”
Nietzsche is trying to display the balance of natural existence—is it nihilistic? No, he did not espouse this negative view of human existence, but neither did he espouse the master/slave concepts of modern Christianity—or any faith—or the linear end game of an “end of days,” like the Judaeo, Christian and Islamic time lines. He thus moved on to the next theory of Übermensch. A kind of future human being that would evolve into responsible, practical, tolerant, non-religious, evolved examples of human perfection—as grandiose as this idea of a better class of human development may have sounded it fit hand in glove with the “survival of the fittest,” and “eugenics” (genetic selection) that was rising in the scientific, and political, minds of the day. This is not what Nietzsche was discussing—his was a discussion of present human kind as a bridge to the next realm of “super” human existence—not like the comic book hero, but rather cerebrally, and culturally, enhanced mankind—unbound by foolish superstitions of good and evil, of absolute truths delivered by uncertified “prophets.”
It was not physically, that Nietzsche was discussing the evolution of humankind alone. And it was not an ideology of racial segregation or prejudice of any kind—it was a cerebral foretelling of metaphysical advancement in which the evolution of humankind was raising from the primordial ooze of superstition, dogmatism and unenlightened thought patterns and archaic traditions.
Übermensch may be the most controversial of his theories because it was through misuse, and misinterpretation, of all his theories that his name became connected with the Nazi regime—along with the help of his uneducated, anti-Semitic sister, Elisabeth—even though, he wished no part of this thing, this darkness, that had its genesis in his lifetime, and was breeding throughout the Germanic society with help from Wagnerian operas, societal philosophers and political/social elements. Remember, Hitler wasn’t born until April 20, 1889—young Adolph would only be eleven at the time of Nietzsche’s death. Otto von Bismarck was the hated king of Nietzsche’s life.
The Superman—comic book hero or Über race of Hitler’s Reich—isn’t what the conceptual realization of Übermensch is about in Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. We have to remember that Nietzsche was completely against the structures of the day—God was dead, because the structures of faith, the power mongers had done away with him, he wasn’t at play in the fields of civilization. Humanity had moved on to a position of mortal control, in which, God was dead. This era of technological advancement, industrialization, invention and nationalism was creating a world of possibility—but there were cracks in the structure.
The bastardization of Nietzsche’s ideas by the Nazi regime would not have been received kindly by the man—much like Darwin’s name being placed on, or beside, the biological results of attempted eugenics or social Darwinism—wouldn’t be appreciated by Darwin.
