Cherished Memories


It's that time again - time that I shuffle from expensive Manhattan apartment to expensive Manhattan apartment offering me a new a lease. This means, for me, getting rid of a lot of books. I know that sounds like heresy, but it's actually quite hard to shlep around 800+ books from apartment to apartment if you move every 2-3 years.

This time around, a lot of the old Pride and Prejudice sequels Read more of this blog post »

The Potala Palace by Haijun Zhang

Garbage nonsense. If this book was published any more recently I would assume that it was AI generated. Instead I think they copy-pasted from websites. The formatting for the eBook is also terrible, with many of the pictures cut off.

Selling the Dream by Jane Marie
Rate this book
Clear rating
Basically an expanded version of her podcast, the Dream, which talks about the history of MLMs. This one goes more into personal stories and the psychological reasons why people (mostly women) fall for these schemes.

Janice And have a great evening.


Marsha Altman Janice wrote: "Happy New Year."

Happy New Year!


Janice Happy New Year.


Janice Have a beautiful 1st day of Summer, tomorrow.


Janice Just checked, and all of your hardcopy books, have been withdrawn from the library system, where I've worked for 30+ years, but we do have some e-books. Oh, well...I'll check the used bookstores.


Janice Thank you for friending me. I've been skimming thru your books, that I've checked out from the public library--where I work-- for years. Pride and Prejudice-- and the movies made from it-- has been one of my favorite stories, for years. I plan to start reading your books during the summer. Have a great day.
