My work on books (yes, plural!) has kept me from posting (better to be a poster than an imposter) as regularly as I’d planned. My computer has been smoking with activity, my printed out pages red-lined and doodled upon – I am having a grand old time.

“Sister Ignatius taught me in Sunday School that "in the beginning there was light," but to me, it was always an incomplete sentence, which God should have known to ammend: in the beginning God created light...to read by.”
Lorna Landvik, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

“What I had come to love about book club (besides the fabulous desserts and free liquor) was how in hearing so many opinions about the same book, your own opinion expanded, as if you'd read the book several times instead of just once.”
Lorna Landvik, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

“A few years back, when I finally got smart enough to go to a therapist, she asked me how I had held things together all these years.

Lorna Landvik, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons
