Looking Back Memoirs - Lou Andreas-Salome

T.R. recommended a book, which arrived on Friday, and I just started reading it. On waking this morning, I spent the first half hour re-reading the first chapter, which I had read the day before, in large part because I wanted to try and understand what the author was saying.

The book is "Looking Back: Memoirs" by Lou Andreas-Salome. Rather than go into great detail about the subject matter and author of the book, here's a link to Wikipedia, where may brains better than mine speak about her. If the remainder of the book is like the first chapter however, this is simply a very cool book.

I'm certain that, as I go forward, I am going to write in detail about some of the ideas in the book. I'm already mulling around what is contained in the first chapter.

A Very Low Key Day

It was a very low key day. I woke from a dream of a magazine article in an issue I had not yet read. The morning was cool and gray. Breakfast was simple - coffee and oatmeal. A hot shower followed, then a lazy couple of hours watching the DVR and waiting for the clouds to burn off. I took a half hour nap. I went out to lunch with Tony, at Hawg's, for chowder and Cajun pasta, then we saw "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". It was amusing and enjoyable. From there, I wandered through the market to pick up a few items, then wandered home and spent the evening alternating between watching DVR and reading "Looking Back: Memoirs" by Lou Andreas-Salome. I wrapped up with T.R. and now am ready to slide off to slip - all in all, a very lazy, very good day.
