Strange Tribe: A Family Memoir
Ok, so here’s my first posting. I have a mess of books I want to read (more than 200 right now) so I’m going to start listing them here on the blog. Of course, I can’t start the list without first recommending Strange Tribe, a family memoir by John Hemingway. It’s a great book that deals with issues of sexual ambiguity, cross-dressing, bipolar disease and the father/son relationship in the Hemingway family. However, being married to John I realize I might be considered biased but honestly I’m not, if I didn’t like his book I just wouldn’t mention it. It’s a compelling read and seeing as the book’s received excellent reviews from other readers, I’ll just add two of them here instead of writing one myself: Review from St. Petersburg\’s Times and from Curled up with a good book: hemtribe.htm.
So, I’ll post my list of books and if anyone has read any of them I’d be glad to hear whatever comments you might have. Other things I’ll be writing about or posting pictures of are tidbits on pottery, travels and food.
