Look Me in the Eye

This is a memoir by John Elder Robinson. He as aspergers and went undiagnosed til his forties! This story is about his life. It is amazing and very moving. My mother and grandmother worked with children with autism all of my life, so I knew a lot about the condition before I read the book. But I had never gotten to hear/read someones story like this. I recommend it to everyone! It is definitely staying on my bookshelf. Thanks for looking at my blog.

Civil War: Hospital Sketches

By Louisa May Alcott


Most people don't know Louisa May Alcott wrote anything besides Little Women. I sure didn't! I have a professor friend that I talk to a lot about books, feminism, and the civil war with. She is awesome! She keeps loaning me books and giving me movies and essays to read. I love it. This was one of those here read this books of hers. It is the fiction version of Louisa's six week term of being a civil war nurse. It is fascinating. If you ever get a chance read it!!!! I know it is going on my bookshelf.
