I love the opening of this novel, and the author has clearly done their homework of studying the material—old maps. (I like maps) I’m intrigued with the genre of mystery with fantasy elements, and I like it that the first pages are written in strictl ...more | |

The Wall: it’s about immigrants, but it’s also about friendship—how fragile it is even when both parties like each other and mean well. The Street Sweep: Interesting to see how NGO workers are seen by locals. This is also about friendship, and I don’ ...more |

I’ve never reviewed cookbooks because I’m not sure how to: should I test at least several recipes and see how good they are, how much should I appreciate pretty pictures, or the stories behind the dishes … and typically we don’t read cookbooks from c ...more | |

This book first asks what color your skin is and the people around you. I think this is fine—children observe and notice anyway—although I think it asks the question a bit too many times. It explains about melanin. Then it moves to the issue of race, ...more | |

Considering there are many adults who take offense when they hear “No,” this book might need to be a required reading for us all. | |

I love the opening of this novel. A Vietnamese live-in cook working for Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in Paris, who receives a letter from home for the first time in five years, just when the two Americans are heading back to their home country. ...more | |

This novel was recommended to me as a social fiction. I’ve been trying to believe it’s good, but my unease is growing; neither of the two main characters sound particularly intelligent. They seem to be more of snobs—snobs in hiding. And when I realiz ...more | |

This was a great fun to read! Many mysteries force the characters do things that don’t make sense in order to keep the readers thrilled and interested. This novel betrays reader’s expectations over and over and over, and yet it all makes perfect sens ...more | |

“Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.”
― Selected Poems
