Sandy 推荐的那本Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray实在很好看。可能因为是历史小说吧，比较生动。好像我没怎么听过罗斯福的传记，只听过二战时的历史，很多跟他有关。但这本书里提到了他作为政治新秀的那些故事，也算是从一些侧面刻画了他吧？作为第一个进入内阁的女性，她受到的偏见和歧视来自各方面各阶层，也的确有点出乎我的意料。
这是google 给出的AI介绍：
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.
可惜还没听完，就到期被图书馆收走了，在等下一轮。
织红帽子时听书真不错，两不误！
刚刚开始听另一本，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.
几个月前我应该借过这本书，但没印象听过，也许是老二推荐的吧？但没听进去或者没时间听就到期了？反正现在听觉得挺有意思。。。

上周末，Charlie 打电话来。。。。。。。。看到手机屏幕上显示他的名字，我就觉得不对劲。平日我们都短信交流，不用电话的。。上次他打电话，大概还是告诉我Chet 的离世，那是近15年前的事。果真不是好消息，Alice 开始在家里的hospice care 了。前几周他还说他们最困难的应该过去了，我还说天气开始暖和，我们可以去探望。没想到癌细胞还是抢先了，到了无法控制的地步。唉。说好周六去见他们，明天下午启程。。。
好久没来更新了
