Photo by Favim.Hi friends. It's been awhile since I've blogged. I thought that when I graduated I'd have more time to do all the things I love to do, but somehow my time has still been filled. I have been writing some, though, and my literary journal is now over a month old. So I guess all is not lost. Since receiving submissions and reading a few of them to my husband, we've had this on-going... Read more of this blog post »

Jessica Mclaughlin added a status update: Feeling so frustrated at my current pace of reading. There is so much I want to read but there are just not enough hours in the day for it all. I want a week away where all I do is sit around and read; does that make me a nerd?? Lol :) Happy reading friends!

Elie Wiesel
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

J.K. Rowling
“If you don’t like to read you haven’t found the right book”
J.K. Rowling

J.R.R. Tolkien
“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Chaim Potok
“I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.”
Chaim Potok, The Chosen

Edna St. Vincent Millay
“My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.”
Edna St. Vincent Millay, The Selected Poetry
