Just finished: "Just Kids" by Patti Smith. Incredibly poignant and tragic - it is her autobiographical account of NYC in the early seventies and her soulmate relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe. Very intense, the things they did in their pursuit of a creative life, their sacrifices...and an amazing window into a time and a lifestyle that has changes so much.Jennyhttp://www.jdaviesreazor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867605736208083548.post-77700989316630242322010-08-01T21:42:14.496-07:002010-08-01T21:42:14.496-07:00Books are one of my favorite topics!

Starting with the "Tithe" it is a 3 part books series and wonderful reads! I see now she has 2 more books out that look absolutely fabulous one named "The Poison eaters". Going to get it.
