what are you reading today? Day 11

 Today I read several children books at the library. Loved all of them! Here are 2:

Joo reads Sam, Bangs & Moonshine by Evaline Ness

Sam, Bangs & Moonshine is about a girl who tells lies like her life depends on it. And as you can see from the cover, there is a cat in the story. Not all stories with cats in them are good, but this one is.

What makes this an even better story is that there is a boy who BELIEVES everything the girl says.  Yep. Sweet...? Or... sad? You decide.  Anyway, so one day something happens, and the girl never lies again....well, not the bad sort of lies! This is a great book, with absolutely wonderful illustrations from the great Evaline Ness. 

Joo reads The Snow Maze by Jan Mark

A boy finds a strange-looking key which unlocks a gate that makes him see what others can't. Because they can't see what he sees, everyone laughs at him, except one friend. I made this drawing based on the book cover, and added myself standing next to the boy. Yep, I really got into the story. :--) A wonderful book. Nice illustrations too.

What Are You Reading? Day 7, Part 2

Kelvin reads Collected Poems by Philip Larkin

I have this book too. I must admit I don't understand everything I have read. But what I have read, including what I don't really understand, have an effect on me. This is one of Kelvin's favourite books. (I noticed the shiny leather shoes that Larkin is wearing in the book cover. You probably can't tell from my painting here. And he got one of the most troubled-looking faces.)

What Are You Reading? Day 7, Part 1

Kelvin reads Improvisation by Derek Bailey

To me, Kelvin is a master of improvised music. I have seen him walk into a recording studio and just played. I am not sure if he needed to read a book on Improvisation.

I bet this book isn't talking about techniques at all, maybe more an attitude towards life. Or maybe more about the history and forms of improvisation in different kinds of music. I will need to read the book myself.

What Are You Reading? Day 6

My father had little education, although he used to work as a shipping clerk when he was younger.

He did not know the English language, but read and wrote simple Chinese.

He lost his speech in the last few years of his life. No one knew why that was so.  Maybe it was his dementia.

Anyway, I decided to read him the calendar one day, in Teochew. 

After several numbers he suddenly joined in, to everyone's surprise. His favourite numbers were 6 and 9.

He started reading the calendar with us since that day. But he would get tired easily each time we read with him, and could manage maybe 20 numbers the most.

Here is my father, on the wheelchair, after a meal, wearing his cotton gloves which prevented him from tearing his paper-thin skin with his fingernails, reading the calendar. My mother was beside him reading with him, but she is not in my drawing.
