Brit Chism Book: “The Sheltering Sky” by Paul Bowles What it’s about: Paul Bowles is a giant of U.S. literature. His book “The Sheltering Sky” is a planet in my literary universe. It captures the alienation and disillusionment of two young Americans traveling around North Africa after WWII. I read it again every couple of years to remind myself what a really good storyteller sounds like.
Ian O’Hara Book: “Ten Caesars” by Barry Strauss What it’s about: In the Imperial Roman Era, women, wives, mothers and mistresses held incredible power, politically and culturally. In 350 years, we have learned many philosophies of honor, rule and law.

“What We’re Reading” is a column about readers in the community and the books they love, in their own words. This month we asked three readers around Gulfport about their current reads.
Stone Handy Book: “Peace Is Every Step” by Thich Nhat Hahn. What it’s about: Hahn is as prominent in the teachings of Buddhist principles as the Dalai Lama himself. “Peace Is Every Step” presents, in easy lessons/stories, how to live a peaceful life, through mindful breathing and mindful action. If you are washing dishes, be present. I have been studying his words for decades. The book is my handbook for navigating this twisted stream of life we are in today.
