The art of living single, by Michael Broder: I picked this up at a used book sale. Even though it was published in 1988 and written by a man, I found it helpful. It offers a positive take on deciding how you want to live. How to meet people if that is what you want to do or how to live on your own instead. I think I will redonate this book back to the library.
Everyday paleo, by Sarah Fragoso. Borrowed from the Vineland Public Library (613.282 Fra). I looked at all the recipes which are nicely illustrated with large photos. The author provides exercises for individuals, couples and parent and child. I don't think I am going to follow this cave man diet. It seems that you just eat meat, vegetables and fruits. The shopping list for one week included a list of 81 ingredients! I have no food in the house and have more demands for my cash other than grocery shopping.
Brain on fire : my month of madness, by Susannah Cahalan. Borrowed from the Vineland Public Library (616.832 Cah). The author deteriorated into a person with strange and inexplicable symptoms, such as facial twitching, drooling, and paranoia. Finally one doctor diagnosed her rare autoimmune disease, possibly anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis, and administered appropriate treatment. She makes the point that possibly others now and in history have suffered from this disease and been misdiagnosed and thought to be crazy or possessed by demons.
