Some Books Being Read...
The Other Hand Clapping - Marco Vassi
About a man who gets into zen while his wife gets into acting. He questions if she's acting sometimes or being real, she questions him if zen is more important than their marriage. He questions her fidelity at times but keeps these suspicions to himself because he isn't sure if it is just the hallucinations that go along with his lengthy meditative practices that are creating these hyper-real visions.
The Englishwoman in Egypt - Sophia Poole
The collected observations of Sophia Poole, who lived in Cairo from 1842 until 1849 with her brother, the well known Orientalist Edward Lane. In contrast to her brother's dense works of research, Sophia Poole's was cast in the form of letters to a friend. She presented the same world her brother wrote about but from a much more informal and feminine perspective.
