Francesca, the De not only says “ooh! pollock! good eye…” (she feels her art degree requires such a response)..but also this:

I have a print of my own personal favorite painting of all time, hanging ing my hallway at home – and when I bought the print, framed it and hung on it on my wall…suddenly the wall felt complete.

This wonderful image that likes to sit in the corner of my mind now had representation in real space in my home, and its definitely a comfort for me. It was almost like hanging a portrait of a family member.

Do indeed get a print and hang it with pride, the De says you shall never regret it.

Francesca, did you know they are making The Time Traveler’s Wife into a movie? It’s make favorite book too and I’m not sure yet how I feel about it being made into a movie.

I liked The Virgin Blue too, but yes, the historical portions were better than the present day ones. I also liked The Lady and the Unicorn by the same author.

In the ‘…for Dummies’ line, there is a great little collection of books called ‘The Ginger Series’ from Awa Press that include ‘How to Drink a Glass of Wine’ & ‘How to Look at a Picture’, and others, they are beautifully written and illuminating. And have really cute covers. http://www.awapress.com/products/published/books/TheGingerSeries/

Has anyone else read Eat, Pray, Love? With a title like that, I really didn’t want to like it…but I loved it. I understand the snark that’s been dished out, but it ultimately just got to me so much. Liz Gilbert’s other books are great, too.

In the same vein as “Wine for Dummies,” I also really got a lot out of “Art for Dummies.” It helped me not walk around museums like an idiot going, “Oh, that’s pretty.”
