Waiting Sitting Wishing... for the Soccer World Cup

One of the advantages of having to ride the subway everyday in NYC: you have time to read A LOT. Here is my last crush:
The Alice Walker’s novel received the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award. A few years later it was adapted into a film and musical. The book is about an abused and uneducated black woman’s life in rural Georgia during the 1930s.
It’s about oppression in general. I found this book very intimate and inspiring. It will give you a good illustration of the issues faced by minority women but it will also give you a sort of strength and encouragement to fight against oppression and injustice. The novel is well-written and really suspenseful. I recommend it!
Some quotes from the book to convince you a little bit more... :

"A saga filled with joy and pain, humor and bitterness, and an array of characters who live, breathe and illuminate the world."

Museum of Arts and Design
From April 27 to October 24, 2010, the museum presents the exhibition “Dead or Alive”, showcasing the work of 30 international artists who transformed natural materials (feathers, dead insects, bones, plants…) into art. It’s a really daring and original exhibition that I personally enjoyed a lot. Check it out!
“All art is but imitation of nature”.
