Member Since
August 2009


Writer/artist living in small town Michigan. I am a feminist, paddler, rebel wannabe, constant reader, recovering wine snob, primary caregiver, and anarchist emeritus.

When I was young, I wanted to be an alien. My brothers think I succeeded.

The first book I could read by myself was "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back." The next book I remember reading was Taylor Caldwell's "Dear and Glorious Physician."

By second grade, I had the thickest glasses in my family. Still do. I read by lamp light, moonlight, flashlight, candlelight and the pilot light in the furnace. Books are as important to my survival as water and dark chocolate.

Linda Robinson I don't. I have other things I love to do, and if I can't write, I'll do those things instead. I had writer's block for 35 years!

Quotes by Linda Robinson  (?)

“We email, teleconference, webinar, but we are not in the room with the people. It is a false connectedness - artificial team-building. It's like eating the menu instead of the food.”
Linda Robinson, Chantepleure

“Life lessons cannot be applied topically.”
Linda Robinson

“I must catch up to the others, for I am their leader.”
Linda Robinson, Chantepleure

“Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it, French hoard it, Italians squander it, Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Know what I say? I say time is a crook.”
Truman Capote

“No fleeting moment can bear the scrutiny that a lone voyager is able to give it.”
Ben McGrath, Riverman: An American Odyssey

“The Gracehoper was always jigging ajog, hoppy on akkant of his joyicity.”
James Joyce, Finnegans Wake

“I discovered there was something else I had never considered-Plan C- don't turn to mush, don't leave, stay and resist. Tango's entire point.”
Eve Babitz, Black Swans

“Nobody learns anything by doing everything right.”
Linda Robinson, Chantepleure

Yes. Out of allthe Booker Prize candidates that one seemed to me the most interesting, but I wanted to start with an earlier book. Will let you know about Rain.

Linda Robinson I hope you enjoy the experience. I just read Garden of Evening Mists, too. Such pain and beauty is profound.


Kalliope Thank you for your Friends request Linda. It seems we share many friends already.

I plan to read The Gift of Rain next. I liked your review.
