Read Sidney Abbott's Sappho Was a Right On Woman.

 

Read Hillary Clinton's Living History.

 

Currently reading Douglas MacArthur's Reminiscences.

 

Well, it looks like it has been a while since I have reported on my recent readings.

 

Finally finished reading Douglas MacArthur's Reminiscences.

 

Read Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird.

 

Read Michelle Obama's Becoming Michelle Obama.

 

Read The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.

 

Read James Stuart Bell's How Well Do You Know Your Bible?.

 

Read Tobin T. Buhk's True Crime in the Civil War.

 

Read Gary B. Speck's Ghost Towns: America's Lost Cities.

 

Read World War II: A Photographic History.

 

Read Eun Suk Cho's Josianic Reform in the Deuteronomistic History.

 

Well, I did get a lot of books for Christmas.

 

Read James Spada's Streisand In the Camera Eye.

 

Hmmmm, I thought, that one could be interesting. Sometimes, when an actor/director is covered by an author, the book often deals with their technique as much as their fan-oriented history.

So I checked out the Delaware Libraries computer catalogues, and did not find the book by title. I then looked up books by James Spada, and found that the Delaware libaries hold copies of the following, um, scholarly works by this distinguished author:

• Julia Roberts: An Intimate Biography
• Julia: Her Life
• John and Caroline: Their Lives in Pictures
• Ronald Reagan: His Life in Pictures
• Jackie: Her Life in Pictures
• Streisand: Her Life
• More Than a Woman: An Intimate Biography of Bette Davis
• Peter Lawford: The Man Who Kept the Secrets
• Grace: The Secret Lives Of a Princess
• Judy and Liza

By that point, I decided to take a pass on the original book.

It is nice, however, to see that Ted has found something to read that does not have anything to do with the Civil War.

 

But wasn't U.S. Grant one of her first boyfriends?
