My current read is "Connecting the Dots" by Joshua A. Miele. It's the story of a man who was blinded as a young boy by a neighbor who was schizophrenic, when the man threw acid in his eyes when the little boy answered the door. And all about his growing up and working for NASA and doing all kinds of interesting things. One of the things I appreciate most about this memoir is his candor. He smokes weed, does a ton of acid, becomes briefly addicted to painkillers etc. All this during his teenage years. He takes himself on adventures across the country and gradually matures. I really love this book because many stories of blind people are .... I don't know it's hard for me to see myself in them because they are so good and well behaved. LOL. There is a lot of pressure on blind children and teenagers to "be good' don't do drugs or drink or have sex or any number of other"unsafe" things. It's hard for me to relate to people who've never been rebellious. I really appreciate this guy's story and admire his courage and his vulnerability in telling this story.
