We started our on-line bookstore in April, 2009, and we are having a ball! In November, the Texas Book Festival in beautiful Austin, Texas took place. We were lucky to meet one of our beloved author, Margaret Atwood. She is everything we thought she would be. Seeing our friends Julie Speed, Sarah Bird and so many other authors was a weekend in Heaven.

We both work full time jobs, I work for a software company and Neil runs his Electrical business. This past week my company had lay-offs, 16 employees will lose their jobs at the end of the year. This is a way of life these days and we all know it. We wanted to pay homage to those that have lost their jobs, lost loved ones, etc., as the year comes to an end. As our first blog is posted, we are sharing some books that have helped us in times of change and growth.

I realized I had to free myself from the images which in the past had announced to me the things I sought. - Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities.

These Ideas Work.

1. Negotiating with the Dead - Margaret Atwood
Maybe because she has been a constant Author in our lives, this book questions thought or excuse on how we express our selves.

2. Daughter of Destiny - Benazir Bhutto.

The tremendous courage of a person. Her commitment has written the final chapter of this book.

3. The Gandhi Reader - Homer A. Jack (Editor)

"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth" - Albert Einstein

4. Kahlil Gibran, His Life and World

This definitive biography of Kahlil Gibran--author of THE PROPHET and voice of his Middle Eastern countrymen--traces the phenomenon of a first generation immigrant succeeding in twentieth-century American arts and letters.

5. Harriet Tubman Imagining a Life - Beverly Lowry

During her lifetime, Harriet Tubman was many things, escaped slave, lumberjack, laundress, raid leader, nurse, Railroad organizer and abolitionist. She was known both as Moses and General Tubman.

6. John Muir's Longest Walk
Free yourself in Nature.

7. The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison
One of the Author's that Changed my world.

8. Things I've Been Silent About - Azan Nafisi

Courage and thought. Reading is Valuable.

9. The Healing of America - Marianne Williamson

Let's change... We have a better idea!

In Remembrance.

Russell "Rusty" A. Wier

In a personal note, on October 9th, 2009, our father, Musician Russell "Rusty" Wier died peacefully in our house, after a long bout with Cancer. His career expanded over 40 years of great Texas Music. He lived by the guitar and never changed his path. Here is to you Dad... It does make us want to dance!

Thank you for reading our blog. We will have semi-monthly blogs. Let us know your thoughts.

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of Library - Jorge Borges
