What will the future bring? Well, if it brings anything like this, watch out! For me, End of Days was one of those books that sweeps me up and doesn't let me go. The best kind of read, as far as I'm concerned. A complex, richly satisfying plot and th...more

The old world was destroyed because of its own greed and secretiveness. Those least evolved rose to the top, as happens here. Your leaders, as you call them, are all people with damaged senses of self-worth. The damaged goods run the civilization. That’s why it cannot last."

State of Wonder
by Ann Patchett
read in March, 2013
Absolutely marvelous. An incredible book. Ann Patchett keeps getting better and better, if that's possible. Heart of Darkness set in the Amazon, but reconceived so brilliantly that it becomes a leap beyond.
Whitley is on page 270 of 353 of State of Wonder: This subtle take on Heart of Darkness set in the Amazon is one of the finest novels published in recent years. Fabulous fun.
