Just started Upstairs At The Whitehouse: My Life with the First Ladies by J.B. West. He was the head Usher for the White house for 28 years making him responsible for everything that happened in the Executive house. All the repairs, appointments, meals, dinners, special events etc. He talks about the routines of The Roosevelts, Truman's, Eisenhowers, Kennedys, Johnsons and Nixons before he retired. Really interesting.

Finished Upstairs At The White House (so good) and tonight I'm starting Naked In The Zendo by Grace Schireson. Uptight Zen, Wild-Ass Zen and Enlightenment Wherever You Are.

I kinda love that they said Wild-Ass on the cover of a Buddhist book. Makes me laugh every time. Some of the best Zen Masters really don't take themselves too seriously which I also love.

Finished Naked at the Zendo and now I'm reading In Order To Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park. So far, it's really good.

Finished In Order To Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park. It was excellent.

Now I'm reading More Myself: A Journey by Alicia Keys. Really bloody good. I'm about 60% done and I don't want it to end.
