Read Superpowers!

[bertine]

My cousin, David J. Schwartz (snurri) has written a book, Superpowers that came out yesterday. If you live in the Minneapolis area he will be doing a book reading tomorrow at Dreamhaven Books, 912 West Lake Street in Minneapolis, at 7 PM and you should go. Otherwise you can buy his book and read it. This is what I will be reading this weekend.

I don't think so unless I had a really good reason. I liked Korea and I liked seeing how people live there but it didn't really speak to my soul or anything. I am not sure I would do well in that culture for long periods of time, I don't know if I got the wrong impression but the status of women is sort of odd to me. I have a feeling that is the way it was for women here in the US 30 years ago or so.

YES. Although, it's better now for women than when I first went there in 1993.

I am sure. It wasn't any specific incident either. It was mostly the fact that men there were OK with the fact that I was direct and looked people in the eye because I was a foreign visitor but expected something different from women that were from there. It was very odd to see that because I am pretty insulated from that.
