Bob Dylan Chronicles Volume One by Bob Dylan - I'm not sure whether there are any more volumes of Chronicles, but if so, I'd read them all. These Chronicles are readable in the best way. The history is coming from the person who lived it, and he writes with a funny conversational ease. His descriptions are wonderful, and the way he puts words together is no surprise considering his background. Although there is a lot not here, there is enough to piece together an idea of one man's life in the times before life and the world became overly informational and chaotic. And yet he remembers some of those times as being chaotic and crazy too. The only thing that would have made this book better would have been to include some pictures; I wouldn't be greedy, just a few would do. Fine, I'll Google.Thinking more about it, the reason I enjoyed reading this was that the writing isn't formal and stilted or talking down to me; it's casually intelligent and straightforward.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
