Thematic examination of how the Soviet Union changed from 1957 to 1968. Some chapters were on topics I knew well - like the space program and dissidents - but others - like the changes in housing and consumer goods were completely new. Enjoyed very much.

I’m sorry but there is still something to be learned in the stacks of a physical library.

Before they led their country’s revolutions, Lenin, Mao and Castro completed arduous journeys which ended their meeting American journalists who told, and perhaps romanticized, their story. Interesting use of the shared theme, and focusing on the journalists more than the revolutionaries.

#NoKings Boston featured endless people. A wide variety of ages, many families, and home made signs galore. Sheila Divine and Ayanna Pressley were highlights. Happy to hear Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren speak.

In 1990 I visited Zagreb, Yugoslavia - and both places are minor character in this wonderful novel - a single chapter of stream of consciousness written to unmet character - architecture, family, the fidelity of childhood memories - all make an appearance.

Beyond the writing and the interleaving of art with the text - I loved the 80’s Canadiana.

I do read bestsellers - also I often regret the time I spend doing so.

Capitulation and bravery. We do not hear enough about how countries dealt with the Nazi’s - often because it is not a pretty story - but one we can learn from.

I am not sure how much great literature we are missing out on because it is not original my written in English - but this author is definitely writing some of it. I can’t stop thinking about Time Shelter and this was also excellent.

I have been on an Eastern Europe reading binge - and this book, which I bought on a lark in Amsterdam - was a wonderful general history of the area. Games of Thrones without the dragons.

When you read enough “women in” memoirs they all tell the same story for the woman but the background changes. Big name Venture Capital as a backdrop is just wild - rock and roll has nothing on them.

My daughters love vintage markets - and to pass time I look for 80s band shirts in the cheap bins. How could I pass this one up?

Waited til I could buy on Kindle Sale - and wow! Engaging, shocking, thought provoking. Egos that can’t be satiated and tech companies are a bad mix.

Thrilled to see this acknowledgment of my mentor and PhD supervisor at #ASMS2025 I used to joke that if I showed resolution of 100 Don would call it 10 and Marvin Vestal would call it 1000. Not a good career move for Don - BUT his contributions to MS - including successful trainees is huge.

Even when it was never meant to be share - Joan Didion can write so well. Though it does not come out in the title this book is very much about mothering.
