Stroke Recovery RehabThe 5 Best Books I Read in Stroke RecoveryWhen I finally felt comfortable starting a new book and reading some stroke recovery literature, I was overwhelmed by all of the books for stroke survivors that were available on Amazon.Over the years, as I’ve searched for information that would help me in recovery after stroke, I’ve found that many of the lists that promote the “Best Books to Read After Stroke” are all pretty similar.Instead, some of the books that had the biggest impact on my recovery had absolutely no relation to stroke.In this episode, I’ll share a li...2025-05-1404 min

Modern DutchMDPodcast 085 – Over WAKE UP, SIR! door Jonathan AmesDeze week een uitzonderlijke Modern Dutch Podcast, want zonder werk van Wodehouse. Nou ja, wel iets dat sterk naar hem verwijst. Ik bespreek namelijk een indrukwekkende roman waarvan ik vind dat veel te weinig Wodehouse-liefhebbers die kennen: Wake up, Sir! van Jonathan Ames. Ook lees ik mijn vertaling voor van zowat het hele eerste hoofdstuk uit dat boek. Jeeves speelt er een belangrijke rol in, maar voor het overige brengt dit boek vooral veel nieuws voor de Wodehouse-lezer: het speelt zich af in hedendaags (althans: 2004) Amerika, de hoofdpersoon-cum-verteller is niet Bertie Wooster maar ene Alan Blair, en we reizen...2019-05-1225 min
