Sandy 推薦的那本Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray實在很好看。可能因為是曆史小說吧，比較生動。好像我沒怎麽聽過羅斯福的傳記，隻聽過二戰時的曆史，很多跟他有關。但這本書裏提到了他作為政治新秀的那些故事，也算是從一些側麵刻畫了他吧？作為第一個進入內閣的女性，她受到的偏見和歧視來自各方麵各階層，也的確有點出乎我的意料。
這是google 給出的AI介紹：
A historical fiction novel about Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve in a U.S. presidential cabinet as Secretary of Labor under FDR, focusing on her rise from social reformer to a key figure in the New Deal, including her role in creating Social Security, while navigating sexism and personal challenges like her husband's mental illness. The book details her early work in New York City, her partnership with FDR, and her fight for workers' rights during the Great Depression, presenting her as a determined and essential American heroine.
可惜還沒聽完，就到期被圖書館收走了，在等下一輪。
織紅帽子時聽書真不錯，兩不誤！
剛剛開始聽另一本，Brave New World is a classic dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1932, that depicts a futuristic World State where citizens are genetically engineered, socially conditioned, and pharmaceutically pacified into a rigid caste system to ensure stability and conformity, sacrificing individuality and freedom for artificial happiness.
幾個月前我應該借過這本書，但沒印象聽過，也許是老二推薦的吧？但沒聽進去或者沒時間聽就到期了？反正現在聽覺得挺有意思。。。

上周末，Charlie 打電話來。。。。。。。。看到手機屏幕上顯示他的名字，我就覺得不對勁。平日我們都短信交流，不用電話的。。上次他打電話，大概還是告訴我Chet 的離世，那是近15年前的事。果真不是好消息，Alice 開始在家裏的hospice care 了。前幾周他還說他們最困難的應該過去了，我還說天氣開始暖和，我們可以去探望。沒想到癌細胞還是搶先了，到了無法控製的地步。唉。說好周六去見他們，明天下午啟程。。。
好久沒來更新了
