Lidya | 2 comments just finished "razor's edge" by Somerset Maugham. the book is amazing in my opinion. now I'm reading "Doctor Zhivago" by Pasternak. the style of writing and the style of the author reminds me very much of Dostoevsky, who is probably loved by the whole world..

I recently read The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe which was the origin of the "tekeli-li" cry Lovecraft used in At the Mountains of Madness. It's interesting to see how the two stories could almost fit together..."

I will have to take a look at that one. Thanks!

PattyMacDotComma Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them is just what it says it is. Francine Prose is a highly regarded literary authority who knows her stuff, but isn't stuffy. She also knows how to poke fun at herself.

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 392 comments Gone With The Ghost (Murder By Design #1) by Erin McCarthy Gone With The Ghost by Erin McCarthy. This is a cozy mystery with a paranormal element. The ghost of Bailey's best friend appeared in order to implore Bailey to investigate his "suicide."

I'm currently reading this one. I've been staying in light hearted reads lately because it appears to be my mood but I decided to pick this one up because I enjoy this author.

PattyMacDotComma My Year Of Living Vulnerably sounds like a memoir by talented, tormented Aussie journalist, author, and broadcaster Rick Morton, but it dives into culture, politics, philosophy, and science, especially PTSD and the brain. Fascinating stuff and a great read!
