Desert Island Books – Eric at THE IPC
Check out Eric’s site here: http://isaacspictureconclusions.com/
Well the next Bookworm Castaway has been set. Check out Eric’s selections below. Thank you Eric for taking the challenge.
Remember if you want to be a Bookworm Castaway just click on the page Desert Island Books to learn more.
Here goes.
1. You have a choice of one complete series of books or three individual books.
While I would love to take the entire Book of the New Sun pentalogy (by Gene Wolfe), but I don’t think i could make it on just those alone, so I would bring The Urth of the New Sun. It’s one of my favorite books ever and the character of Severian kind of molded my growth into adulthood.
I would also bring along a copy of Mailman (J. Robert Lennon) – one of the best things I’ve read in YEARS – a story about a sociopathic American mail carrier – it’s touching and hilarious and sad all at the same time. Have you read this? Did he really try and eat his professor’s eyeball?? Highly recommended!!
I haven’t read this one, but it sounds interesting.
To finish this up I’d have to have a copy of The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia – a very moving story of heartbreak and sadness that incorporates the characters and the author into the text. Very smart and well written.
2. Three CD’s you can’t live without – no greatest hits packages please.
AEnima by TOOL – this got me through some very hard times in my life….
Garage Inc by Mettalica – some of my favorite classics covered by one of my favorite bands ever!
A Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd – ever song on this album is a transcendental beauty and could keep me at peace during long nights marooned on a desert island.
3. Suntan Lotion or Sunglasses
Totally sunglasses. I can work a nice tan and my eyes are getting old, so definitely some shades!

Poem – Take It To The Limit
Listening to music
with my wife and son
Nostalgia
Rushes over me
in a musical wave
I almost can’t take the flow
the speed
as it rushes
washing me down
I’m caught in the undertow
I give in
I let it take me
I float
I drift
On a sea of Time
Thinking back
Memories
cruising days
What happened?
Where’s that magic track?
The one that will take us back
When music was –
friends
buds
and
suds
Records
Tapes
CD’s
my youth
rushed by so fast
I hope my son
will have memories
like mine
Oh Nostalgia
I love you so
Yes,
Take it to the limit one more time
Now it’s your turn. Flood my comment section below with bands or songs that take you back. Give me a reason why if you want. You don’t have to though. Sometimes the artist or song alone will tell the tale.

The Business of Being Born
* * * * STARS Director Abby Epstein’s controversial documentary takes a hard look at America’s maternity care system, juxtaposing hospital deliveries against the growing popularity of at-home, natural childbirths that some expectant parents are opting for. Former talk show host Ricki Lake was inspired to produce this compelling exposé after a dissatisfying birthing experience with her first child left her with many unanswered questions.
via Netflix: The Business of Being Born
I was shocked when I watched this with my wife. I had no idea the world of birthing a child could be so complicated. I had no idea there was so much stuff going on behind the scenes that may or may not be necessary. From a guy’s point of view or the uneducated eye – here’s the way it goes:
Woman goes into hospital.
Doctor does what he or she can to deliver the baby.
That’s it.
That’s what TV shows and movies have taught us through the years. The woman is flat on her back and the doctor is giving her whatever they deem necessary at the time of the delivery.
After watching this movie a lot of that thought process has changed. I had no idea (or didn’t want to believe) that doctors could be so cold to a woman in labor. That they would worry more about getting home than they would be about getting the woman to have a healthy baby. Aren’t doctors supposed to take care of us? We have to trust them because they usually know what’s right or am I misguided in thinking this.
The topics explored here are topics that all women should have the option of knowing about. It is like there is this secret under layer to pregnancy that the hospitals and insurance companies have enough money to keep quiet. It’s disgusting to see money take over in such a way.
This was a solid documentary that everyone should see whether you are pregnant, not pregnant, thinking of being pregnant, or you are just someone who needs an eye opener. Is the mid wife way the best? It seems to be working throughout the world, but not here in America. Watch this movie and then decide for yourself.
