Russian Journal- by Andrea Lee (1981)

At age twenty-five, Andrea Lee joined her husband, a Harvard doctoral candidate in Russian history, for his eight months’ study at Moscow State University and an additional two months in Leningrad. Published to enormous critical acclaim in 1981, Russian Journal is the award-winning author’s penetrating, vivid account of her everyday life as an expatriate in Soviet culture, chronicling her fascinating exchanges with journalists, diplomats, and her Soviet contemporaries. The winner of the Jean Stein Award from the National Academy of Arts and Letters–and the book that launched Lee’s career as a writer–Russian Journal is a beautiful and clear-eyed travel-writing classic.

I tried those and couldn't understand them either! LOL!!!!!! Now I'm just giving it a couple of weeks of word recognition / conditioning practice.

I felt a bit guilty about inserting a film in a book thread

I just finished "Promised Land, Crusader State" by MacDougall, and it's the best monograph on foreign policy I've ever read! I'm suggesting that all my students read it. For fun, I've just started "Northwest of Earth," a collection of all of C. L. Moore's stories about Northwest Smith (planetary romances of the 1930s). After that, a book on the War of 1812 (one of my ancestors fought in that one).

I'm reading The Body Ecology Diet, Recovering your Health, and Rebuilding Your Immunity by Donna Gates. It's about replenishing your intestinal gut flora so that you are no longer in a state of toxicity from the overpopulation of "bad" yeasts like candida, and other fungi. Homemade fermented vegetables figure promiently in the diet, along with milk kefir, and young coconut water kefir, to starve the detrimental flora in your body, and allowing the benefical bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungi, to flourish, allowing your body to fight pathogens.

Hoe hoort het eigenlijk

it is ironic how many books are gifted to me.

many as a refutation (from the inarticulate)
and a few - intended as a pleasure
for one of my philosophy.

i have received an other copy
of s. m. stirling's draka anthology:

The Draka, on the other hand, view themselves as a master race and unlike the Nazis (who believed that their mere racial heritage made them superior), are keenly aware of the effort they must make to maintain this status; in the manner of ancient Sparta...
