@Alfred What are the avalanche risks on Vancouver Island today?

The best practice standard for managing #dementia patients is manipulation, lies and deceit. I railed against the ethics of the approach until I realized how effective it is, and how being open and truthful about the patient’s condition actually makes things worse and undermines their treatment.

@arthurpendragon With a handle like @arthurpendragon… I’d expect that! You should check out “Mists of Avalon”!

And I got that library card…. 😌

@arthurpendragon Some of my faves include authors Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mary Stewart, JRR Tolkein, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Antti Tuomainen, David Weber; titles like “Lorna Doone”, “Gone with the Wind”, “Half Broke Horses”, Sam Quinones’ “Dreamland”, “A Woman in Berlin” …. I need a library card!

@arthurpendragon Thanks for the suggestions! Will check these out!

@arthurpendragon Not a particular genre. Just well written. A really well written book can transcend genres & I want to try new things!

What’s the best book you have read lately?
Looking for suggestions!
