The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo

Brettchenweben

Luther, der Ketzer : Rom und die Reformation
A really good book for this Luther year. Reviewed.

Primates of Park Avenue
What very peculiar people! Glad I don't live there.

Literarische Cartoons

Warum feiern wir Weihnachten?

Ice road

The husband's secret
Marked down half a star for the ridiculous last chapter. But don't let that stop you from reading the book. The rest of it was very good. Review.

Fasting : a fresh look at an old discipline

Wo die Maschinen wachsen
I don't think I am the inended audience of this book.

Ötzi. 100 Seiten

A Christmas garland
The book was very interesting once I switched from the German translation to the English original. So there are two reviews.

Eleni
It's rather a relief to have finished this. I'm glad I didn't live through the Greek Civil War.

Das wird man ja wohl noch schreiben dürfen!
Failed the 50 page test. Did not finish.

The Hebrew Bible as literature : a very short introduction
Reviewed.

Alte Stickereien aus steirischen Sammlungen
Reviewed.

Faith in suburbia

Penguins, pineapples & pangolins : first encounters with the exotic

Rose under fire
A little too obviously written for US kids.

The Human Genome Project
I'm trying this year to get through the stack of Grove books that had accumulated before I cancelled my subscriptions several years ago. These are short (generally 28 pages) and topical. They are usually fairly interesting when published, but often show their age fairly quickly. When the author has written a full length book on the same topic, it gives a very good indication as to whether that would be worth reading. This particular example is on ethics, and rather rambling.

Rheines Wasser

I only made it halfway through Eleni. I've always meant to go back and start again, but it is a tough read.

There is a lot of not very nice things going on, and the book just keeps on and on. I must say, a nice fiction book about it might have finished in a more satisfying manner as well. Still, it helps you understand why Greece is still a mess today. Yes, there ought to have been time to get things in order since then, but if this is how they reacted to the end of WWII, what else has made difficulties since?

The Sneetches and other stories

I seem to have missed listing Foundation and Intrigues

Backen mit Gemüse: Kohl im Kuchen? Unbedingt versuchen!

Lucky girls
I feel like I ought to be able to connect with the various ex-pats, but I don't think that I or those I have socialized with over the years are that clueless.

Trent : what happened at the council
Excellent. The book, not the event. Reviewed.

George VI : the dutiful king
Really to short to say much.

Das Original Sacher-Backbuch
Yes! If you want a really good Viennese baking cookbook, this is the one. Reviewed.

Adoption : a challenge to the church

Killing Jane Austen
The fact is, I just don't like mysteries. Other than that, it was fine. If I were going to like mysteries, this is the sort I would like.

1066: Der Kampf um Englands Krone

The lion's world
Reviewed. I enjoyed reading this, and may have to get my copy of The Chronicles of Narnia down. I see I last read them in 2012. This brings back memories of buying a nice set for my youngest one Christmas, and getting into a discussion of the series with his high school brother. 'Of course, Aslan is a Christ figure.' 'He is? I didn't know that! Where are the books. I need to read them again!'

Pegasus in space I seem to have missed noting the first two of this trilogy. I read them this month, too.

Schmetterlinge : Vielfalt durch Wildnis
I understand why I have the only copy on LT. Butterflies and moths in one of Austria's National Parks is rather a specialist topic (a bit too specialist for me, if truth be told), but the pictures are lovely, even of all the little brown ones. And besides the many descriptions of individual species, there are good explanations about the various biotops and how they work for these insects.

Wienerwald (Wandern mit Kinderwagen)
Kinderwagen-Wanderungen : Um und in Wien

I was really looking for a book to suggest walks/hikes that I can do with my walker, and neither book works for me. If you are looking for a book for walking with young children, you might want both.

To begin, while there is a good deal of overlap, the first is really about hiking, the second includes several ideas for outdoor activities with children that don't really include walking. The first is specifically Wienerwald, the second is wider ranging. Both have too many walks with a tower as the goal for my purposes.

Neither has good enough maps for using without extra material. The first recommends mapbooks from Freytag & Berndt. However my experience is that they are heavy to carry, and the page divisions can make orientation difficult.

The first gives very useful icons about the difficulty of a hike. Anything with a plus is going to be difficult to get through with a walker as that indicates things like steps. Otherwise only time estimates. The second gives kilometer and altitude changes, but you have to read the descriptions carefully to find the points that will create problems.

Going through these was useful, as I now have a better idea of what I am looking for.

This is a bilingual edition. I read the English original. I found the amount of horror at the bombing of Vienna difficult. But I suppose the civilian population were not aware of how terribly Britain had been bombed earlier in the war.

I feel better now about >69 MarthaJeanne:. This was still more philosophy than I could really grasp, but it tried to keep it down.

Hidden figures
What I can't get over is: My husband has often told me about the way his school pushed science and math after Sputnik. I'm enough younger, and spent part of that period in India, so I didn't experience it in the same way. But during those same years, some areas in Virginia closed all their public schools rather than integrate. During an era when the country was more aware than ever of how important good education was, the white community prefered not to educate than let white and black children share a classroom.

Nobody passes

Year of no sugar
The sad thing is that many of the items she assumes need sugar just don't. Muffin and piecrust recipes from the 50s and 60s usually don't call for sugar. She never really comes to grips with the difference between sugar added for sweetness, and sugar that is a structural element, part of why the recipe works. A muffin recipe that tells you to add sugar with the other dry ingredients will work just fine without it, although if it calls for a lot, you may need to adjust the amount of flour. A cupcake recipe that starts with creaming the butter and sugar together needs the sugar. Probably not all the sugar, but enough to create that butter-sugar mass that traps air bubbles. If you drop the sugar below half of the butter, you won't get cake. (Sugar that is beaten with eggs is also usually integral to the recipe working.) She does discover that you need sugar for jam making. You do not need sugar in whipped cream.

Still, interesting to read.

The Glovemaker's Daughter

>120 MarthaJeanne: I liked your observation in the review:

"a woman wearing a sari can often be seen adjusting it, but it is neither a problem, nor even necessary. Rather it is a form of expression that has to be learnt."

Insightful.

No, just experience. I lived in India as a child. I certainly never wore a sari regularly, but I had one, and wore it occasionally for several years after. I think I could still wrap one if I had one. At the time, I recall hearing people talk about the cultural differences and that western women usually looked wooden in their saris because they didn't play with them. 'You could pin the end in place on the shoulder and not have to do any adjusting, but DON'T, it is just as wrong looking as if you were constantly buttoning and unbuttoning the top of your blouse.'
