</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Murder in
First-Century Rome!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Flavia
Albia, adopted daughter of famed informer Marcus Didius Falco, takes on her
tenth case as an Informer in Rome. Informer is Roman speak for Private
Investigator. Flavia Albia is good at her job. She’s courageous, smart, and
street savvy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As
Saturnalia ends, there’s a horrifying murder of the actor Chremes. No sooner is
his crucified body discovered, then his wife, Phrygia is also found murdered,
her dying words are “The Undertaker did it!”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Who is
this mysterious undertaker if not Suedius the gravedigger? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The
murders fit a pattern; they are taken from famous Greek and Roman plays.
Chremes and Phrygia’s acting company is in shock. They are all suspects, of
course.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Actor Davos
and his partner, Thalia ask Flavia Albia to investigate. Their acting company
is also threatened by the killer or killers. They are terrified as are all
actors in the city.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Flavia
Albia teams up with Mucius, lead investigating officer of the VII Cohort of
Vigiles, the local policing force. Mucius is experienced as are his officers.
Together, Flavia Albia and Mucius interview suspects, study crime scenes and
dead bodies, and wrangle with clues as they race to prevent yet another murder
based on a play.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The plot
is complex, the murderers diabolical, and the clues… they lead to more clues
found in the names and themes of plays. Who could be so cruel and twisted?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Lindsey
Davis has another hit with “Desperate Undertaking” starring Flavia Albia and
her keen detecting skills. The writing is fluid, the murders ingenious, and the
culprits are well-disguised.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Flavia
Albia’s previous investigation is “Comedy of Terrors” </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">. You might start at the beginning
with “The Ides of April.” </span><a href="https://www.bookloft.com/book/9781250048554"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> No matter what, there’s plenty of
action and suspense in all of Lindsay Davis’ mysteries. </span></p> <br /><p></p>

<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Philipp Schott, Canadian author and veterinarian, brings
readers the next set of mysteries and adventures of Dr. Bannerman in
“Fifty-Four Pigs.” </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Dr. Peter Bannerman loves the cold and snow. Good thing
because he lives in Manitoba near Lake Winnipeg, in the town of New Selfoss,
where winter temps reach 30 below and a balmy day might be minus 10.</span></h1><h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Bannerman is the
local veterinarian treating both house pets and farm animals. Peter also loves
a mystery, a good cup of tea, and watching the sun rise. His dog, Pippin, is an
excellent scent hound, winning many local and provincial contests. Pippin can
always find “his man” and loves to seek out the objects Peter hides for him. </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Laura Bannerman, Peter’s wife, knits sweaters, hats, and
mittens with amazing designs, and isn’t always keen about Peter’s
investigations. </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Kevin is Laura’s brother and one of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Policemen (RCMP) assigned to the area. </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">The story begins when a pig barn explodes killing all
fifty-four pigs. The only problem is that there are 55 bodies in the burned-out
barn, the extra being human. Who was the extra body? And why was he in the
barn? Did he get caught in the blast? And where is Tom, the pigs’ owner?</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Peter Bannerman investigates much to his brother-in-law’s
annoyance. Peter also noses around a shed with displaced pots and some strange
disappearances. A second dead body appears, and then the Bannerman home is
robbed of a TV, some jewelry, and all the meat in the freezer. At which point,
the puzzle becomes so tantalizing Peter must investigate. </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Yes, Peter finds himself embroiled in a murder mystery he’s
bound and determined to solve, not matter the cost.</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Philipp Schott writes an intriguing mystery filled with
suspense and humorous scenes. The winter landscapes will freeze readers no
matter the temperatures in their homes. Once you read a Dr. Bannerman Vet
Mystery, you’ll want to try them all.</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>

and historical fiction lovers alike.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Reavis Wortham’s latest
mystery thriller is “The Texas Job.” In this tale of hard men and gun slingers,
you’ll meet Texas Rangers, cold-blooded killers, Oily oil men, crooked bank
owners, and Chicago mobsters.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Meet Texas Range Tom Bell.
He’s a WWII veteran, a survivor of numerous gun battles, and already has a
reputation as a successful fugitive tracker. Ranger Tom Bell is on the trail of
Clete Feras, a killer who won’t think twice about murdering women and children.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Just as Bell is arriving
in Pine Top (in east Texas) on his buckskin, he’s flagged down by young Booker
Johnston who stumbled across a dead woman in a dry river bed. Right away
there’s a gun fight where Bell wings the shooter who sadly gets away.</span> </h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Quinn Walker, recently
from Hog Eye, recently married to an oil land rich widow Mallie, has teamed up
with Gene Phillips, also recently married. They are deeply involved in a scheme
to buy up as much oil land and as many leases as they can. They don’t care
about cost or lives.</span></h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">They’ve hired Clete
Feras, via Chicago mobsters, to kill off land owners who resist land sales.</span> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">“The Texas Job” by Reavis
Wortham is a ring-side seat in the scandals, swindles, and schemes of oil men
of the 1920s and 1930. It’s a time of hard men, the depression, and too much
money to be had in black gold.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhSdIVdYEqnjpSpco2Npg1aglmaVAy6sosWojO9IeiDFAiUUfhiX9ncEKjf9VxVVNskI7TQI5INOcU8M7cRn0mn8HlbzMRE66Zze7wOYn6QRcsFaLZfGAuZGGhV26a9ATUdV9ScCWBeEKrCYXrYe2aJTyTWYNVRaDz5FOqjpO10zTq_kUIuxdbDJcHaQ/s400/9781464214554.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="259" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhSdIVdYEqnjpSpco2Npg1aglmaVAy6sosWojO9IeiDFAiUUfhiX9ncEKjf9VxVVNskI7TQI5INOcU8M7cRn0mn8HlbzMRE66Zze7wOYn6QRcsFaLZfGAuZGGhV26a9ATUdV9ScCWBeEKrCYXrYe2aJTyTWYNVRaDz5FOqjpO10zTq_kUIuxdbDJcHaQ/w129-h200/9781464214554.jpg" width="129" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Set on the eve of the
dustbowl, this gritty piece of historical fiction is a western and mystery
rolled into one. Based on real events, it is set a decade after the 1920s oil
strikes and land grabs from the lands of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma as
described by David Grann in “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and
the Birth of the FBI" </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"></span></h1><h1><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">I loved the action which
included an active investigation, gunfights, and a great car chase (sadly few
horses). This one is based on real events of the 1931 Oil Gushers and Oil Boom.
Best of all, it's set in a part of the country I don't know at all, East Texas.</span></h1><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">I admit I was sucked into
Reavis Wortham’s “The Texas Job”. The writing and the characters will stick
with you for a long time. As it happens, “The Texas Job” is a backstory or
prequel (although it's not identified as such) for Tom Bell’s early career.
He’s already a seasoned Texas Ranger when you meet him in The Texas Red River
Mysteries which begin with "The Rock Hole”.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBcWDT8f_uK856_jPUQHkard4dsudVevX66qvfYLk1WlA-C4yFmy14UrZ-U6Vj7hHDae67JoZwVFgVExMoxJ8sRJbKN2XiTqYaI3Yef182RYKGGYLNjkQhntRUy-kjxN-lymMtIsdoKNxJRwB_4ZVbZ29IuCMIhFUfc_2PdBCA4mpm29LjAxnYlidbzA/s400/9780307742483.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="260" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBcWDT8f_uK856_jPUQHkard4dsudVevX66qvfYLk1WlA-C4yFmy14UrZ-U6Vj7hHDae67JoZwVFgVExMoxJ8sRJbKN2XiTqYaI3Yef182RYKGGYLNjkQhntRUy-kjxN-lymMtIsdoKNxJRwB_4ZVbZ29IuCMIhFUfc_2PdBCA4mpm29LjAxnYlidbzA/w130-h200/9780307742483.jpg" width="130" /></a></div><h1 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">I heard this author speak about his mystery / thriller / western and had
to read it. It's set in the 1930s Texas during the oil boom. It takes
it's theme and crimes from real events that affected the Cherokee and
the Osage peoples in 1920s Oklahoma. <br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"></span>

<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">“Repairing the World” by Linda Epstein is a heartwarming
book about Daisy and Ruby, BFFs at age 11. They do everything together. </span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">When Ruby dies suddenly,
Daisy must work through the grief, make new friends, and find joy in life
again. It’s really tough at 11 and 12, just as it is at any age.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1><h1><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Just days before school
starts, Daisy meets Mo. He’s just moved to her neighborhood. He’s in her Hebrew
School class, and his mother has been diagnosed with cancer. Their Hebrew
School class assignment is to design and complete a project for Tikkun Olam or
Repairing the World.</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Avery is also new to her
school and neighborhood. She’s brainy and loves math and science. She and Daisy
become close friends, along with Mo.</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Daisy, Avery, and Mo live
in houses that back onto a nature preserve. They spend lots of time there. Mo
is going to build an owl house. Daisy is going to erect signage so visitors
don’t get lost. All three are searching for magic and kindness.</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Linda Epstein treats this topic of death, serious illness,
and loss with hope, renewal, and kindness. The characters learn about Tikkun
Olam (repairing the world), and healing. </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;">I found “Repairing the World” by Linda Epstein a great
comfort. This book filled with healing and hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a good story for children of all ages
and an excellent book to read with parents, grandparents, and anyone else
dealing with loss.</span></h1> <br /><p></p>

I guess that fits within the definition of translation.</p><p class="MsoNormal">To that end, I read a few <i>m</i>odern books with a twist of translation, focusing on
transcription of what’s heard rather than written. They are all mysteries and thrillers which are one of my favorite genre.<br /></p>

another analogy. I can fill out and sometimes complete crossword puzzles for
American audiences. I have limited success with the Monday & Tuesday NYT
crossword puzzles. What about British crosswords? I doubt it. While I watch
tons of British TV shows and reads lots of British novels, I doubt I can
connect clues with British terminology. And forget about the cultural
references and slang, although I do know that calling someone (on the phone) is
to “give them a bell”, and “bin it” means toss it out. While I get the
reference, there’s too much lost in translation to shift my brain around to
British English. In the same breath, I realize the Brits probably say the same
about Americans. Isn’t it amazing how much English varies among all the
Anglo/English speaking countries!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Writing using a
Patois, slang, or mimicking “dialect,” a term out of vogue today. Written
phonetically, or in the language of a different era, for example Shakespeare
that hasn’t been edited for a modern reader: Chaucer is another example –
written in Middle English. If you hear out loud, you can often parse them
meaning without understand the dialect.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Think of books
where the editor left in local or regional idiom. You’ll see this in books
written in English for different English-speaking (Anglophone?) countries:
Australia / New Zealand, Canada, US, England, Scotland, Ireland, and even
India.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes an editor or copy

the Harry Potter series was first published. Editors, or perhaps the publisher,
printed books for American / Canadian audiences and for British readers. Alternative
titles and different spelling and vocabulary made the editions different,
particularly Harry’s first adventure Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
(1997) aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Why did they do it?
Perhaps it was too confusing for the intended audience of young(ish) readers.
Personally, I don’t think the teens would have noticed the difference. Then
again, young readers (six and up) are now consuming the Harry Potter series, so
perhaps the editors were correct. From personal experience, I was reading books
intended for young British readers by the time I was nine. I don’t think I
noticed a difference in spelling or vocabulary, although I was and still am a
person who looks up unfamiliar words. I’m thinking of books like C.S. Lewis’
Chronicles of Narnia and Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons.</span><p></p>

one side of the page and English (or the country’s vernacular) on the other,
traditional bilingual books. There are also interlinear books with the original
on one line and English on the next. Interlinear translations are often used by
students or those studying the meaning of individual words.
</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Examples of bilingual and
interlinear books are bibles and prayer books, poetry such as works by Dante
and Chaucer. Many works of the Classics (history, poetry, and narrative of the
Greeks and Romans) are available in bilingual editions, especially from Loeb. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju8TDsQoyQ-6JHLDdlss-NKe7RrJADkYWE_x0IHPqdbkNVGFc7sQRK4WGpXiCPy704eQHItqN7iovWCftMJq8xHXuL5owSalB1jXMz-cktP9oFmzMX3cVfX4mqFCm5ep3s244_sOWYDDQ81DXIZGANARhUu7Wf7k-n3JdVN_nRibEFR8tSdttaxWoeow/s400/9780385495561.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="269" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju8TDsQoyQ-6JHLDdlss-NKe7RrJADkYWE_x0IHPqdbkNVGFc7sQRK4WGpXiCPy704eQHItqN7iovWCftMJq8xHXuL5owSalB1jXMz-cktP9oFmzMX3cVfX4mqFCm5ep3s244_sOWYDDQ81DXIZGANARhUu7Wf7k-n3JdVN_nRibEFR8tSdttaxWoeow/w134-h200/9780385495561.jpg" width="134" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />When I
was reading Thomas Cahill’s “Mysteries of the Middle Ages” and he recommended
reading Dante in the Italian to experience Italy in the late Middle Ages / Renaissance.

new verse by Robert Pinsky (NY: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1994). The verses in
Italian and English sit on opposing pages to the delight of the reader. Pinsky’s
edition has illustrations by Michael Mazer, which great add to the text and the
flavor of the immortal poem.</span></span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Another example of bilingual books
is those where the characters speak in their native tongue or throw in phrases that
aren’t translated. You’ll see this frequently today when Spanish is included,
spoken by the Latinx characters. I’ve also seen examples of this in books by
French and even German authors where the text is translated but maybe not the
slang, curses, or idioms. In rare instances today, there will be a glossary of
terms. This may be more common on TV series, particularly British and European
series, than American.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We'll read more in translation tomorrow. <br /></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

you could read stories that have been rewritten to shift perspective / point of
view from the main character to a minor character, from male to female and
visa-versa. In literary and copyright lingo, these books are considered
derivatives, in other words they are adapted or reconfigured.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

Done Gone” or “Rhett Butler’s People.” This was one of the first contemporary legal
battles that tested the copyright issue of derivative or not, fair use or
original. In the first example, “The Wind Done Gone” by Alice Randall, a
“literary parody” of “Gone With The Wind” by Margaret Mitchell, is told by
Cynara, Scarlet’s mulatto half-sister who was born into slavery. The language
and perspective shifts to that of Cynara. Readers experience this ‘classic’
tale unfold through the eyes of a servant or enslaved person as opposed to the
white Southern aristocrat. </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3R1UocYiMD601wcn5rDT3AcQy84gIhA-r28qa_nZdcteqAxQUt4q83LUFK9fv8jmn6c5EY3hSRbMEbfJX8bVEAiAH254_eK5I7lxXREwcS0p8Ct3Gt1WHQVUifEAFGq63wdK-F-cV-CMthd4yc1TILddEVY2ksakyu2Etqiz9XTsA33auChvMzYCAvA/s400/9781250065308.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="267" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3R1UocYiMD601wcn5rDT3AcQy84gIhA-r28qa_nZdcteqAxQUt4q83LUFK9fv8jmn6c5EY3hSRbMEbfJX8bVEAiAH254_eK5I7lxXREwcS0p8Ct3Gt1WHQVUifEAFGq63wdK-F-cV-CMthd4yc1TILddEVY2ksakyu2Etqiz9XTsA33auChvMzYCAvA/w134-h200/9781250065308.jpg" width="134" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">In the same vein, “Rhett Butler’s People” by Donald
McCaig tells the story of Rhett Butler’s life from his childhood in poverty
forward until he meets Scarlet O’Hara, again playing off the familiar story line
of “Gone With The Wind” with a twist.</span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">With a shift of perspective and creative use of story-telling,
authors translate traditional or well-known stories, twisting tales to fit
different audiences. In some instances, the story is told from the loser’s
point-of-view or a secondary character’s perspective. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ97aPrEQ12iTfDjmCnX7LO7mpA7WDBJt-K3wiFzZcj9WhVBgtMwqrAC42LdsKjYzLzvxaIby1xDb9eQ68GIK9EFIOQUt9aIkGAifB8jkQPbisWabyc7IH8GR3qUFi2ypBEwg_E08s8jWxrC7MaoPkrmsPcozu86QpwtWrrSmKfEws5blWdi1wHnbf2g/s400/9781573227957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="266" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ97aPrEQ12iTfDjmCnX7LO7mpA7WDBJt-K3wiFzZcj9WhVBgtMwqrAC42LdsKjYzLzvxaIby1xDb9eQ68GIK9EFIOQUt9aIkGAifB8jkQPbisWabyc7IH8GR3qUFi2ypBEwg_E08s8jWxrC7MaoPkrmsPcozu86QpwtWrrSmKfEws5blWdi1wHnbf2g/w133-h200/9781573227957.jpg" width="133" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />While mystery writers
have mastered this technique, I’m thinking of Iain Pears’ “An Instance of the
Fingerpost,” a murder told from multiple characters’ perspectives. The story is
told again and again, each time from a slightly different vantage point. Slowly,
the mystery and the crime takes shape until it’s finally solved at the very
end.</span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

An example of shifting the POV from the ‘traditional’ story to a derivative one
is “Wicked” by Gregory McGuire. Gregory McGuire is taking “The Wizard of Oz”

that have been translated, most usually books designated as “classics.” Here
are examples of those whose books we read in translation: Dumas, Zola, Kafka,
Camus, Garcia Marquez, Joseph Conrad, and many of the Hispanic / Latinx authors.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The key to reading these books and experience the true
flavor of the author’s writing is to find a good translation. So how do you do
that? Well, you might find a bilingual copy or look at a copy in the original
language to get a flavor for the language, rhythm, meter, and character of the
author’s words and compare these elements with those of the translation. I’ll
give you an example.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhZ_hfrtswRxMwcPAHXWFDlsu3qj7Le9wEUgBiMp8EjFlJVnx_TR8icVMpNJMk21ljeVoCKn_E-V_CUUesjk8yNCnTqx63nPGwFC9xx-DCWYqpjSXreIM9FX8TK0cld6D0L6OV4wVScJa5K_UrnSsTbZvO5CL1UTOWS0dIdEeekcKiF_eAj76EX_rpQ/s475/1595394.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="301" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhZ_hfrtswRxMwcPAHXWFDlsu3qj7Le9wEUgBiMp8EjFlJVnx_TR8icVMpNJMk21ljeVoCKn_E-V_CUUesjk8yNCnTqx63nPGwFC9xx-DCWYqpjSXreIM9FX8TK0cld6D0L6OV4wVScJa5K_UrnSsTbZvO5CL1UTOWS0dIdEeekcKiF_eAj76EX_rpQ/w127-h200/1595394.jpg" width="127" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />I was reading “The Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas,
edited by David Coward (Oxford, UK: World Classics, Oxford University Press,
1991) <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1595394.The_Three_Musketeers" target="_blank">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1595394.The_Three_Musketeers</a>
and mentioned to a friend that I really liked the translation. He asked if I
had read the book in French. While I answered no, I realized I needed to take a
look at the text. Next, he asked why I liked the translation and why I would
recommend it. Great questions.</span><p></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First of all, I liked the introduction and editorial
comments. While many readers skip this material, it always sheds light on the
author, the history of the publication, and more. The introductions may provide
historical context, publishing history, and even reader reception (that’s what
readers thought about the book when it was first published). In this case, in
addition to all the information listed above, there was a bibliography, a
chronology of Dumas’ life, and a detailed table of contents. Explanatory notes
followed the text. The only thing missing were maps of the city and of France.
I would have liked maps so I could follow the escapades of the Musketeers. By
the way, a reading buddy of mine recommended using travel books like Baedekers
or Michelin Guides with lots of city maps if you don’t have single country
atlases.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The main reason I like the World Classics translations is
the language, or rather the vocabulary. The Dumas books are full of wonderful
descriptions of events; lots of digressions; and a host of vocabulary I had to
look up in a sophisticated dictionary. The last may be off-putting, but I loved
that the translator challenges the reader with words that were common in the
1840s and may be old fashioned of high-brow today.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the end, I loved the translation, the style so much, that
I purchased other books by Dumas from the same publisher. My true challenge was
reading the books without getting bogged down. After all, Dumas and his
contemporaries including Dickens, wrote really long books. The trick is to read
the books a chapter at a time. After all, Dumas, Dickens, Zola, and others had
their books published in serial form, that is a chapter at a time in the
newspaper or magazines. Readers waited for the next installment to come out,
daily, weekly, and sometimes monthly. Sound familiar? It’s just like a podcast.
But I digress. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Reading any of the classics in translation is a pleasure and
a challenge. If you’re up for it, try reading them as they were published, a
section / chapter / or piece at a time. Use a really good translation. Take the
time to savor the writing.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Stay tuned for more on Reading in Translation tomorrow.<br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

books that have been translated into English from another language.
Translations provide opportunities to sample the reading pleasures of another
culture, maybe even another time. Let’s start with something simple, reading
fiction that was written in a language other than English and translated into
English for an Anglo audience. (US, Canada, UK, Australia, etc.).</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisAuyCi5I-H8ZOD1fzceYWycRIxm_kUTGqhMJ85wV5m7QtTUXjCt3qMkBT_3K6jD1fKh7YPbv329JXATzxtbEmoDAOtmshxIRjuMFGgugIEFkpNZ3lsgtDYz11hmtQ7-Y1M2Xx-d6-4Pi5u7hRaomPiJNfldiW3PYP-TPQFdxg6TTbeY2wNLpZIOhatw/s400/9781642861082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="259" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisAuyCi5I-H8ZOD1fzceYWycRIxm_kUTGqhMJ85wV5m7QtTUXjCt3qMkBT_3K6jD1fKh7YPbv329JXATzxtbEmoDAOtmshxIRjuMFGgugIEFkpNZ3lsgtDYz11hmtQ7-Y1M2Xx-d6-4Pi5u7hRaomPiJNfldiW3PYP-TPQFdxg6TTbeY2wNLpZIOhatw/w129-h200/9781642861082.jpg" width="129" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I read a book
translated from Danish. It was supposed to be humorous, a parody of life in
rural Denmark. Did I get all the humor? No way! But I could tell what the
author was poking fun at, or I think I did via the translator. Most intriguing
for a book entitled “The Land of Short Sentences” by Stine Pilgaard, translated
by Hunter Simpson (NY, London & Amsterdam: World Editions, 2022) <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59425628-the-land-of-short-sentences">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59425628-the-land-of-short-sentences</a>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found the title was a sly poke at the
physical layout of the book and the long, complex sentences.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For this blog series, I’ve been reading books written in European
languages and translated for an English reading audience. I’ve been surprised
at how much I’m enjoying reading books I’d never have picked up on a regular
library ‘shopping’ trip. The books aren’t written for an American audience, but
for a European one. Wow! That sounds snooty and pretentious but it’s true.
These books are literary, contain wry or sly humor, or can be parodies that an
American audience might not get. An excellent translator will pick up on the
nuance and humor and convey it in such a way that American audiences get it. At
least, that’s the hope. It’s also possible that many of the cultural references
will be missed.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Idiom is often a problem in books that are translated. The
translator needs to be fluent enough to get the nuance of the idiom and be able
to shift the vocabulary so others get what the author is trying to say. Many
English language readers get British, American, and other Anglo slang and
idiom, but do they get the French slang? Or the German? </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stay tuned for my next adventure "reading in translation." <br /></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">

now that’s downright fascinating. So fascinating that I keep getting distracted
by wanting to follow clues, comments, breadcrumbs, and more. In short, I’ve
gone down the Rabbit Hole of researching bits of information I’m learning and
suddenly realize I’ve put the book aside for hours or days. The minute I jump
back into the book, I’m off on another tangent! </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">To me, that’s the sign of a wonderful book, one that gets
you thinking, that makes you wonder about the information conveyed by the
author and the topic. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this instance, I’m reading Erik Larson’s “In the Garden
of Beasts.” No, it’s not “the garden of the beasts” but garden of beasts, a
translation of <i>Tiergarten</i>, the large park in central Berlin that’s
similar to Central Park in NYC or Hyde Park in London, where wild beasts once
roamed and were hunted, where residents of the city walk, ride, and are seen. According
to the author, there was a zoo on the huge park. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Readers learn the name of the park in the very first pages
of Larson’s book, a tempting tidbit that sparks curiosity and perhaps a
digression, the first of many. After exploring maps of Berlin and researching
the name of the park, I realized the title of the book foreshadows the topic
and scope of this “novelistic” history which recounts in detail 1933 - 1934
Germany. The title was a pun, for the garden was full of human beasts, Germans
who plotted harm for the “undesirables” of the country. Ironically, it was also
the perfect place to walk and talk without being overheard.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Nineteen thirty-three and thirty-four are the first years

book chronicles the first year William Dodd, Professor of History at University
of Chicago, is the US Ambassador to Germany (under FDR) from August 1933
through December 29, 1937. He’s not particularly well suited to the post and
he’s definitely not FDR’s first or even second choice. Naïve and ill-suited and
most definitely penny-pinching, Dodd brings his wife, son, and daughter with
him to Berlin. Thus begins this detailed history, a history that asks the
reader to pay attention to details, to the daily unfolding of Nazi control of
Germany and the German people. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpnhPzY2T04fGaDpiPQBXyEQZkdoqtwJ7eCEgiDNNDbQvAB5gMCCy_UoihErDHLm9l7vCgqgRp_aZeRb7vvBIyIW6wqmPX_fxBuTRifuAEh2e-081FoaudLn7Nj9OlAFh0137AXSgEYshbubfK8AbvQYCa41OrNaB00nmMPjfNopOJM9U6kyaw9-1s3w=s400" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="259" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpnhPzY2T04fGaDpiPQBXyEQZkdoqtwJ7eCEgiDNNDbQvAB5gMCCy_UoihErDHLm9l7vCgqgRp_aZeRb7vvBIyIW6wqmPX_fxBuTRifuAEh2e-081FoaudLn7Nj9OlAFh0137AXSgEYshbubfK8AbvQYCa41OrNaB00nmMPjfNopOJM9U6kyaw9-1s3w=w129-h200" width="129" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

regularity expecting his readers to recognize them. An authorial quirk is to
provide an epithet or descriptor for many of the minor characters such as Hans
Gisevius (who wrote “To The Bitter End”, who is always identified as the “Gestapo
Memoirist”. Larson uses Dodd’s diaries, primary sources, accounts of others in
the State Department and European Ambassadors and undersecretaries Dodd
associated with. Most fascinating are the people Dodd’s daughter Martha associated
with, everyone from members of Hitler’s staff, to SA and SS officers, to
possible NKVD spies. Martha had an active social life that wasn’t discrete and
put her in contact with many people, many of whom supported the Nazis.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">

Most of you know I've been reviewing audio books since 1989. My first encounter with audio books, was Peter Ustinov reading "Peter and the Wolf" on LP. I must have listened to more but I cannot remember. My first audio book review was of Homer's "Iliad" on multiple cassette tapes for Library Journal. I went on to listen to thousands more since then, now exclusively for AudioFile Magazine <a href="http://www.audiofilemagazine.com" target="_blank">http://www.audiofilemagazine.com</a>.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">It took a while for me to become comfortable with the idea that audio and paper books were equivalent experiences. In the beginning, I feared, like most librarians and educators, that listening would curb or curtail the physical reading I would do. But no, I actually found I read more books and listened also. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">In reality, listening and reading aren't the same, yet I remember the audio just as clearly and precisely as the print. I see images from the audio performance just the way I do when I pick up a physical copy of a book. Sometimes listening is a more vibrant "read", sometimes the physical book is better. There's no rhyme or reason.</span></span></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Listen or Read? Which Do I Choose?</span></span></h1><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">How do I decide which books to consume? Well, some are audio books I'm reviewing so I don't have much choice. I've actually read the physical copy of some first, others afterwards, mostly when I want to see how the audio performance changes the reading experience. This is particularly true when the audio book is performed by multiple narrators.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">I prefer non-fiction in print but I do listen frequently to history and biography. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Some books are best suited to paper, like spinoffs from self-help lectures. On the other hand, I've reviewed tons of self-help and business audio books, most of which have stuck with me. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Since I review (and judge) lots audio books a year for AudioFile Magazine and the Audie Awards through the Audio Publishers Association <a href="https://www.audiopub.org/" target="_blank">https://www.audiopub.org/</a>, I rarely listen 'for fun.' </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">No matter what, I love both the listening experience which allows me to "read" and drive or stitch or cook at the same time. I also crave time to curl up with a good book and just disappear into that world. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">No matter what, listening to books brings me just as much joy as reading print versions. Give audio books a serious try. You'll find they are perfect for your next road trip.<br /></span></span></p>Miriam Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474740710681108352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515018737768959635.post-6741728692305878352022-01-07T10:33:00.000-05:002022-01-07T10:33:14.374-05:00Joy of Reading 5<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Contemplating on the joys of reading during Bout of Books Read-A-Thon Jan 2022, I consider how that joy is spread. It sounds very missionary, very much like proselytizing, but how do you spread joy and reading at the same time. So here goes.</span></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> Joy 5 is Reading with friends</span></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Have you ever read a book at the same time as your friends? It's an opportunity to share what you are learning, enjoying, and even disliking. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Reading with friends gives you an outlet to discuss the book. Do you like the writing style? Is the genre suitable for the content? Are you getting anything out of the book? What about the author? Is the writer a favorite of yours or your friends? Will you read anything by them? Maybe you share your delight in the topic, be it history, science, a craft, or a time period. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best books leave you yearning to share them with your friends. Just make certain you get your copy back if you lend it out!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you are gritting your teeth and saying "I must finish this book because Z is reading it," you should probably bail on the book and give it away or back to the library. Your friends will be fine with it. After all, not every book is written for every audience.</span></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Group Reading</span></span></h2><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I like to read books with friends in a group or a book club. This is an opportunity to read the book at the same time or within the same month and then get together to discuss the book.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Book clubs come in a variety of flavors: </span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read the book, talk for a few minutes then chat and gossip about other things or books.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Use discussion questions to talk about the book for a set time, say an hour, staying on topic. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Read the book, listen to the author speak about it and answer questions. This version may be informal or an prepared presentation.<br /></span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Over the past two years, I've been part of all three types of reading groups. If you read the books as part of a group, you'll probably get more out of it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just recently I stumbled upon the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History <a href="https://www.gilderlehrman.org/" target="_blank">https://www.gilderlehrman.org/</a> . They host a series of talks and Q&A sessions with authors and scholars of American History. It's an opportunity to read with a group and learn about the past.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I leave you with the suggestion that you read books together with your friends. Pick a book, share it, or read it at the same time. Then talk about it. It's much more fun than moaning about being home in the grey and the cold.<br /></span></span></p>Miriam Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474740710681108352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515018737768959635.post-87444325011610873382022-01-06T10:32:00.001-05:002022-01-06T10:32:34.548-05:00Joys of Reading 4 - Bout of Books Read-a-thon - Jan 2022<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We’re half way through the January <a href="https://boutofbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bout of Books Read-a-thon</a> for January 2022 and I’m thinking about how happy reading makes me. It’s a subtle form of joy that creeps into my body and imbues my soul with calm. Reading is all the more joyous when shared with others.
</span></span></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Joy 4 - Recommending Books
</span></span></span></h2><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s more joy-filled than sharing a good book with friends, acquaintances and even near strangers. As librarians, we are taught to evaluate books, read them, and recommend them to anyone who asks. I learned that skill early in my career while working at NYPL at reference desks and helplines.
</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As a librarian, I often recommended books I hadn’t read, didn’t have an interest in. I was told, “it’s a skill you need to embrace.” So I did. Suddenly, a world of books in genre I had never read were open to me. What a joy!
</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span></span></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sharing books through reviews
</span></span></span></h2><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">When I began writing reviews, in 1989, I was able to recommend all sorts of books with readers far and wide. Some readers were strangers who became first acquaintances and then friends. Others were friends and neighbors who were always asking me to recommend ‘a good book.’

You can learn something new with each book you open, with every new subject you explore.</span><span class="s1"></span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Learning doesn’t have to stop when you graduate high school, college, or even graduate school. Learning should continue for your entire life. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In fact, it’s called life-learning and, for me, it’s the highlight of my day and week.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Life-long learning</span></h2><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">There’s nothing like exploring a new subject through a book. Now that I’m retired, I can take a deep dive into a subject, explore a tangent, or even dig into those small niggling details an author throws into a book. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Historical fiction, be it a straightforward story or a mystery always teaches me something. In the past few months of reading historical fiction, I’ve learned about stock market manipulation and crashes, lots about World War I and World War II, and even about ladies’ fashion. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">This weekend I read “The Blackbird Girls” by Anna Blankman <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40939440-the-blackbird-girls?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=5MGran0SS4&rank=1" target="_blank"><span class="s2" style="color: #e4af0a;">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40939440-the-blackbird-girls</span></a>which was set in the aftermath of the nuclear plant explosion at Chernobyl. The book, written for teens and adults, focused on the fate of two young teens as they were sent to Leningrad while their mothers (the fathers having died in the aftermath of the nuclear meltdown) healed, found work, and were finally able to bring their daughters home. I learned not only about how Russia covered up the incident, but also about Russian life and struggles in 1986. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Reading fiction or non-fiction brings me joy and an opportunity to learn something new. What types of books bring you joy as you read in place today?</span></p>Miriam Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474740710681108352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515018737768959635.post-31744596540834098352022-01-04T10:34:00.000-05:002022-01-04T10:34:18.870-05:00Joys of Reading 2 - Bout of books (Jan 2022)<p> <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">On day 2 of the Bout of Books Read-a-thon (Jan 2022), I’m contemplating which types of books bring me joy. Here goes.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Joy 2 - Going New Places through books</span></h2><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Books take us places, new and old, through words, descriptions, and illustrations. I know in the summer, I explored travelogues and books about places. (See my August posts on this blog.) This is particularly fun when reading in place, when savoring the adventure while in your armchair or on a beach.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Where’s the joy? It’s two fold. </span></h2><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The first is going to a new place, a place you always wanted to go and haven’t yet. It’s learning about the buildings, the history, and culture in anticipation of an in-person adventure. Perhaps you saw a movie or TV show about a <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>place and now you want to know all about it. Books will take you there! What Joy!</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The second joy is re-encountering or re-experiencing a city or place you went to in the past and just loved. Maybe you went to a city as a child and now want to “see” it through adult eyes? Or you want to learn more about a place you’ve just been to but didn’t have the opportunity to take a tour or see the sights. Joyfully, books can take you to a city or country and show you ‘everything’ about the place.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Maps and illustrations will set the location in context, letting you “see” what buildings look like, or a river, or the countryside.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">In all, taking time to read and savor a book about a place will bring you joy along with an adventure.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Let me know if you want a reading suggestion.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">That’s my reading nugget for day 2.</span></p>Miriam Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474740710681108352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515018737768959635.post-70164799113295525392022-01-03T10:47:00.002-05:002022-01-03T10:47:57.516-05:00Joy of Reading - Bout Of Books 1 Jan 2022<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have friends who read, who read voraciously, quickly, slowly, and sadly, some who say they don't read much at all any more. As <a href="https://boutofbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bout of Books</a> for January 2022 begins, I want to focus on the joys of reading, of what reading can do for you.</span></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Joy 1</span></span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Reading is the best way to start your day. You get to reacquaint yourself with the book you were reading the night before. You can start a new adventure. Best of all, you can start you day with a quiet moment reading in place, at home, or even on public transportation.</span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Start your day with a book</span></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For those of you who say, "I don't have time to read," the truth might be that you don't set aside time to read and relax each day. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've started my morning with a book for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I read for a few minutes as I was eating breakfast, other times, like this morning, I finished the last 80 pages in a thriller. In each and every instance of reading in place, reading with joy, I am taking time to refresh myself and to dive into a book or at the very least an article.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Where's the joy? The joy is diving into a story and letting it encompass you. The joy is savoring the words, the illustrations, and the setting of the story. Best of all, it's a chance to start the day with something other than the news.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I leave you today with the suggestion that you take a few minutes to read every morning, be it five minutes or fifty. Let the joy of the written (or spoken) work work its way through your whole self. And ENJOY.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Tomorrow, Day 2, I'll share more ways to en-JOY reading in place!<br /></span></span></p>Miriam Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474740710681108352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515018737768959635.post-78586447315446070672021-12-29T11:27:00.003-05:002021-12-29T11:27:55.756-05:00Reading in Place in January 2022<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> I am participating in the Bout of Books January 2022 <a href="https://boutofbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">https://boutofbooks.blogspot.com/ </a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The theme this year, as last, is “Reading In Place.” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I haven’t picked a theme for my posts this time, which means I’m going to write about whatever I’m reading each of the seven days of the read-a-thon. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You’ll find reviews of my reading on my Goodreads feed <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1557957-miriam" target="_blank">https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1557957-miriam</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I can’t wait to get started!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Here’s info about Bout of Books:</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: #fae8b2; caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; font-style: italic;">The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple.
