Warda Bashir warda_bashir — Reading Danielle Ofri’s “Singular Intimacies,” there were two particular things that struck me. The first was the overwhelming doubt that seemed to track through the whole story—doubt about her abilities as a professional, doubt about her ability to reach out to her patients, and more general doubts about the ability of the medical profession itself to serve well those it was required to serve. We think of doctors as somehow above this; they are seen, I think, by most people as being almost “god-like,” or if not quite god-like, then at least different than you and I. Perhaps not susceptible to the same mental quandaries as regular folk… But “Singular Intimacies” puts the lie to that. Doctors both above and below Dr. Ofri’s station make mistakes, miscommunicate, mis-diagnose…all in the course of a normal day. And yet, with her keen observers sense, Dr. Ofri sees that despite that doubt, and despite her own flaws which she delineates mercilessly, doctors continue to heal, to deal with the awful realities of failure, and to learn, despite working in conditions that would shatter most of us. And how? This was the other thing that struck me reading this book. When a person trains to be a soldier, one of the things that is remarked upon is how they are drilled, drilled, drilled, over and over again…until every task, every motion is more than automatic, more like embedded. Working 36 hour shifts, in a more-or-less permanent state of sleep-deprivation, under incomprehensible stress…how could a doctor achieve any meaningful results if their tasks, their life-saving tasks were not eventually as automatic as a soldier turning in formation, loading a gun under attack, finding order in the midst of the chaos of battle? “Singular Intimacies” follows one extraordinary physician as she struggles to find a way to heal—her patients, her co-workers, herself. And in the end, despite the book’s portrayal of failures and doubts and devastation, there is a sense of coming to terms with the limitations placed upon those that must heal all others, while still finding space to heal themselves.

Miso Kim edel142 — Lots of sexy, snarky Jack in this one, which is worth an extra star right there. Ianto has some great lines, too, especially in banter with Jack. And with Owen! Maybe that deserves another star. Some of the VR scenes are incredibly hysterical - Ianto's tail! All in all, fairly decent and I hope he writes more in the series this year.

Andrea Casturà andreacastura — A good screenplay by Buk in spite of his later complaints about the film. The dialogue is funny and contains condensed versions of some of his short stories and poems. Contains lot of cool pics of Bukowski cutting up on set with Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway, of whom he once remarked, "I never saw a woman that beautiful in a dive bar". He's the expert!

Andrew Hannigan _annigan_ndrew — This is like reading an autobiography that develops into a beautiful descriptive writing piece by a woman who could neither hear nor see. Truly incredible.

Gardner Hart gardnerhart — big dream big imagination....

Abdulmalik Alaudi alaude — Very interesting biography of the creator of PEANUTS... illuminated by numerous cartoons that illustrate various life influences on his work. Ultimately, a sad story, as Charles Schultz was a sad man - and yet, a difficult book to put down. There's a lot of debate over the accuracy of parts of this book & portrayal... I'll probably hunt some more information down.
