Welcome to Kate Remen-Wait's Home Page

I've jumped on the contemporary bandwagon and as of March 2005, I started a blog called Four Obsessions: Reading, Writing, Cooking and Knitting. It probably means I won't be updating this page regularly, though I will try to make sure I edit stuff that is out of date.

Fiona loves water and Ian loves hiking.

Confessions of a bookworm.... Indeed, I do confess that often I like books more than people.  The people who have made it into the inner sanctum of my friendship know what a bookworm I am and often ask for recommendations in the literary realm.  The thought of thousands of people wandering sadly and aimlessly around bookstores, so overwhelmed by the possibilities that they flee to People Magazine, inspired me to post my Recommended Contemporary Books list (Continually, and somewhat obsesively, updated!).  Check it out and tell me your favs.

Fascinated by the the Weimar period and the Holocaust? I am.  In fact I'm working on a historical novel based on the life of dancer, actress and cabaret performer Valeksa Gert. She had a wild and crazy life--want to learn more about her and other holocaust links? Visit my Valeska Page.

Boss piss you off? Barista at the cafe been rude to you?  Try the Shakespearean Insulter for creative responses to life's sticky situations!  My current fav: "Thou idol of all idiot worshippers".
