❤Hi Mariah. Do not forget about the libraries. They offer such a wealth of books. Particularly when you have little children, you could not possibly buy every book that you read to them or they read. Our family lived in different places around the world. As soon as I found my way to the local library I immediately felt at home wherever we were. The love of books is one of the greatest loves to teach your children.❤
Oj Mariah. Lepo te je videti. I read a history book. And I bought a few more books. About nature, agriculture. Ja, sem videl na Instagramu, da si bila doma v ZDA. Lepo! Nice to see Mariah smile. Home is home. Have a beautiful, super, funny day in Lublana. Bye. Rudi.
Dober dan Mariah... Have you read Forbidden Bread: by Erica Johnson Debeljak (Author)? Forbidden Bread is an unusual love story that covers great territory, both geographically and emotionally. The author leaves behind a successful career as an American financial analyst to pursue Ales Debeljak, a womanizing Slovenian poet who catches her attention at a cocktail party. The story begins in New York City, but quickly migrates, along with the author, to Slovenia. As she struggles to forge an identity in her new home, Slovenia itself undergoes the transformation from a communist to a capitalist society. A complicated language, politically incorrect ethnic jokes, and old-fashioned sexism are just a few of the challenges Debeljak faces on her journey. Happily, she marries her poet and comes to love her new husband's family as well as the fast-disappearing rural traditions of this beautiful country. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Slovenian Ten Day War and the much longer Yugoslav wars of succession, Forbidden Bread shows a worldly and courageous woman coming to grips with her new life and family situation in a rapidly changing European landscape. My Slovenian fiance suggested the book to me which I still possess today. :)
@@MariahDolenc I truly believe you’ll love the story… enjoy Mariah. Oh Id like to mention that I’ll be tripping to Slovenia to visit with friends next August. Would be great to meet you and Luka if your able and free. We don’t have to sit and solve world peace just a kava and a hi would be nice. Just a thought! Take care. Stephen.
08.07.23. 23:40-ish - I got THAT feeling in my belly button - You had to tell us something new, after a quite while, and I got it right, BUT - You got me, cos' you a telling about the books, which - obviously mean a lot to you ... AND TO ME, too. I am tired - so, tomorrow I'll continue, bcs I think it's important - what I must say ... 09.07.2023. -P.S. : Why am I so moved by the "promotion" of books, and reading of them, which MJKD does on her YT Channel, which is not at all common to see on - even through "scientific channels" - on YT ? As someone, who had about 4,000, mostly professional, books before the Internet - I can be considered as a "well informed" one, although this - of course - does not mean that I was the child of a rich dude, but on the contrary - the child of a - "blue collar" - simple worker. The bottom line, however, is that quite close to my house in my hometown was - because it is no longer - and it is not there, and it is not known if and when it will be - the National University Library, which - "certain characters", from the hills with incendiary ammunition - set on fire on the night of August 26, 1992, when it burned to the ground. I was on shift, at the job I was doing at the time, and pieces of burnt paper fell for hours, if not days, and all over the far parts of the city, where for that night - because they were never allowed to publish the exact numbers - perhaps all 2 million were burned books and publications. The thing is, I had a habit, and it was convenient for me , because it was close, to drop by the Library, and as I later "added and subtracted" - I spent in it, up to that moment - almost half of my life up to that point. I have long since passed my zenith, although even in the last 25 years, since the Internet "stayed in the habit" of collecting, mostly - digital books, in every obtainable way, because I became aware of how fragile knowledge is, as the essence of civilization, is and elusive, and when I crossed about 100,000 "somethings" - I stopped counting, but I very rarely shared THAT (f.e. on Oct 15, 2020., with you - MJKD : ua-cam.com/video/DSb1NisBI2U/v-deo.html ), because I didn't do THAT to show off, or to make money from it -but I use to find and read only what interested me . And I was and still am interested in almost everything. You - folks, who are now in your late thirties or early forties, and you have children of your own, who - of course - would like to study, you are very certainly not aware of how deprived your children will be, and are already deprived, of the quality of knowledge, because - among other things - a certain Joe Biden, ordered half a year ago that all sources of digital literature, which are not considered compatible with the rules of the game of "intellectual protection", written in the 19th century (!!!) and trying to be inconsistently applied in the 21st. - have to be removed from the Internet, which at this moment is almost a done deal. On the other side, the SHALLOWNESS that is "provided" to you by FB, IG, TW and other social networks - is the guarantor that humanity goes on the express line, to the future - so "beautifully" depicted in the old Sci-Fi films "Rollerball" (1975) or "Idiocracy " (2006) - and which we - certainly, at least partially - already LIVE. The "right" - to relevant information, or to what remains of knowledge - would be "exclusive" - the self-proclaimed "elite", and for about 10 years, on the other hand, the vast majority of Serious Knowledge - is not written by experts from the West , but - by Chinese or Indian experts and professors - so one must ask: What is Joe Biden doing and who is he protecting? Folks, read - 'til you still can ... 😐

I have not yet had the pleasure of reading that book, but it has been recommended more than once!
