Memoir | 2022-02-05 (4/y) | Suggested By: Other. Format: eBook. Imagine if David Sedaris could draw. This book was a suggested read by one of the Washington Post advice columnists as a good source to understand what it feels like to be depressed. The question to the advice columnist was pretty much "I have a depressed friend who makes plans to do stuff with, and then bails without telling me. Do I still have to be her friend?" The columnist said, "yes, should stay friends." Really? how much does it have to hurt before you're allowed to leave them to it and get on with your own life? She did have some helpful suggestions like, "when you plan to do things with this person, always have a backup plan so your day isn't wasted when she stands you up again." My friend, K, suggested that you invite a third person, so that the two of you who do show up can do something when the other gal stands you up. |

| The Alaskan Retreater's Notebook: One Man's Journey Into the Alaskan Wilderness (Ordorica, Ray) |
Memoir | n/a | Suggested By: eBookDaily.com. Available as library eBook. In the fall of 1978 Ray Ordorica packed everything he thought he would need into his Toyota Land Cruiser and drove north to Alaska. He came to a land he had never seen, to find something he wasn't even sure existed: a wilderness cabin he could use for a year or more to live, think, relax, read, and write. Ordorica found his cabin, fixed it up, and, although it was just an uninsulated twelve-by-sixteen-foot one-room log structure, he spent three winters in it in relative comfort. Ordorica's life in that cabin fulfilled a dream he had had for more than ten years. During his long winters in Alaska, it occurred to him that there must be many others who have put off an extended wilderness visit out of ignorance or fear. They would have as many questions about Alaska as he'd had before he arrived. How do you cope with forty below? How do you get water? Is it totally dark in mid-winter? |
