I'm still besieged by deadlines, so it’s been a week with only a little book reading, unlike the same week 30 years earlier.
April 10 to April 17, 1976 I read:
The Best of Judith Merrill
Somehow rather depressing. (That was my note, can't recall why I thought so.)
Son-Rise, Barry Neil Kaufman
A father’s account of a couple determined to find a way to nurture their autistic son. Evidently, there’s 1993 follow up to the 1976 book called Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues, with the Kaufmans’ son, Raun, at that point a college student, as co-author. How cool is that?
Japanese in Action: An Unorthodox Approach to the Spoken Language and the People Who Speak It, Jack Seward

April 10 to April 17, 2006, I read:

This one was interesting, one of those fantasy books about werewolf/vampire/fae folk meeting modern life. Convoluted other worldly politics. It held my interest.
