All the Fishes Come Home to Roost: An American Misfit in India
By Rachel Manija Brown
Rodale, $23.95
Out: October
When Brown was 7, she moved with her parents from Los Angeles to an ashram in Ahmednegar, India. The ashram's infamous guru was Baba, whom Brown's parents viewed as their God. Baba coined the phrase "Don't worry, be happy" and is the Baba of The Who's "Baba O'Riley." Interesting facts, but not as interesting and sometimes hilarious as Brown's recounting of coming of age as the only American kid amidst the ashram's hippies and hangers-on. The story has its grim side as Brown recalls being stoned by fellow students and beaten by her teachers at Holy Wounds of Jesus Christ the Savior School.
For: Aging baby boomers who have hung up their love beads but still wax nostalgic for the Age of Aquarius.

I figured out the difference between groupies and entourage with Brian Stelfreeze at AggieCon and A-Kon. Groupies hang out around Brian and talk to him. The entourage hangs out around Brian and talk to each other. *is entourage, whee* XD
Cool re: the agent. I wish I could ahve got Mark done tonight, but the con crud is truly wiping me out at the moment and I'm mostly awake solely to get the laundry finished. I should home at least part of tomorrow and will finish it then. You are allowed to beat me with a fish if I don't. *sneeze*

Although, I don't know about the "aging baby boomers" part - sounds kind of ick.

(And why do people talk about the Age of Aquarius as if it's in the past?)

Makes this "aging baby boomer" want to read it even more. I'll make sure to wear my love beads, and play "The Age of Aquarius" when I do to set the proper mood!
Hugs, Christina

And I'd love to able, when someone mentions the cool book they're reading (*Fishes*, of course), to look over say, "That one?" and then whip out a signed copy, and say, "Good, isn't it? She's a friend of mine, you know."
