Sebastian Haffner: Defying Hitler: A Memoir
A VERY important book. Autobiographical notes written by an Aryan German describing the rise of Nazism from a (seemingly) insider’s point of view. An incredible insight into the nature of us, humans, that raises countless questions. Would we resist too?Marjane Satrapi : Persepolis : The Story of a Childhood
A wonderful autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Reading it was a unique experience for me.W. G. Sebald: Austerlitz
A masterpiece.
reminds me somehow of the lonely figures in the movie midnight cowboy (I think, havign a senile moment) with Jon Voyt and Al Pachinom (probably misspelling everything and maybe the wrong names too, forgive me if I do) the flashing lights only highlighting the pitiful existence.

Nope, only my family and friends, whom I miss so much.

Honest Ed became my best friend when I moved back to TO in 2002, for 2 years.I lived just down the street, and filled my little apt. with his help. ;)
I'm now back in Israel doing the opposite of you, geographically speaking ... The pic brings nostalgia ...

well, that's where I live, just across the street from Honest Edds. And where do you live in Israel? I wander if it’s my old neighborhood, in the heart of Tel Aviv. Anything in particular you want me to say hi to? :)
Aren't you lucky! ever since I got to see Lisa's site yesterday I've became terribly home-sick.
