A friend talks about a topic, <i>then</i> you just happen to see it mentioned in a novel, <i>then</i> there is something on the radio, <i>then</i> you buy a book, <i>then</i> someone blogs about it... The connections are all there, but suddenly you become aware of them.<br /><br /><b>Lotus</b> - Thanks again for sharing your picture! You shortened that 6 degrees of separation for me. And with Friedman as well. Neuwirth's book sounds fascinating, and I'd love to read it! <br /><br />Sociology, psychology, and history were my minors in college. Partly because I do well in courses that involve a lot of reading, and partly because in spite of being an introvert, I am remarkably curious about people, behavior, and interaction. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-52509769303574583512007-01-18T07:41:00.000-06:002007-01-18T07:41:00.000-06:00Jenclair,

Since you like cities and planning etc. I was wondering if you had heard of Robert Neuwirth's "Shadow Cities"? It's a fascinating book.<br /><br />A little detail from the book flap:<br /><br /><i>Robert Neuwirth (investigative journalist) spends 2 years living in squatter neighborhoods on four continents. He started his journey prepared to find squatters as signifiers of urban decay and lawlessness, instead he found vital communities of industrious and highly moral people who have built communities of lasting power.</i><br /><br />If this book interests you, let me know and I can send you my copy.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-6003235316313657572007-01-17T23:01:00.000-06:002007-01-17T23:01:00.000-06:00I'm finding doing my reading itinerary both fun an...I'm finding doing my reading itinerary both fun and, as you say, convoluted.<br /><br />City planning is fascinating. I have heard some really interesting local and national people discuss it on NPR in the past. I think it would be an interesting job.Carl V.
