An elegant work which Speaks Loudly and Directly to our Politically Machavellian Age!

A WONDERFUL book on Emotional Disorders in our Modern Hyped up world. Seems we're all getting more sick of the world, more of the time!

And Ms Beck takes a kinder, more patient approach to trauma. It's more based on the patient's introspection, through which he or she can SEE what made him sick and tired!

All my life I've been driven by one primary theme - not, with my neurotypical friends, that life is far from okay - but, as an inveterate aspie like Jennifer, that life is Perfectly Okay as long as you MAKE it that way!

A wonderfully sophistiicated memoir of the Age of the Bright Young Things - the 1930’s - when Ms Wells was the infant daughter of a swinging female socialite. The House in France is her step-father’s (the pivotal philosopher A. J. Freddie Ayer’s) and is full of loving and happy memories of them both.

When I heard the sad news that Gene Hackman and his wife had decided to exit their meaningless life together, I thought of Popeye Doyle. I snapped this up! At least Popeye, having his hands full with the Frenchman, had a reason to live!

Wonderful cozy mystery from India…

Best nonfiction book of ALL my books read during 2025!!!!

And LOVING it! By Far my favourite so far.

Most touchingly tender and crazily funny book I’ve read about bereavement. for a spouse who was part and parcel of your life - since All Things Consoled by Elizabeth May (see my review).

My parents had this one in a prominent place on our Living Room bookshelf, until Mom took over as the chairwoman of the Twnship Library on 1957, and for five years thereafter.

Absolutely Riveting for a Boomer Genesis fan like me! Love it.

Hilarious.🤪

DYNAMITE. This is SO us, now!

This book Sums up my Life, PERFECTLY. Says it all. Best modern novel I’ve read in Ten Years!

This sounds great, and Amazon's Kindle price is so cheap today (only?)!

A beautiful, heartfelt book of encouraging stories in an Age OF HURT.

Baldwin's stern prose burns into your skin as you read this! Though not having had a radical turning-away from the Church at puberty, I see that Baldwin - like me under the grotesquely radical coming of age in the unbearable judgement I took on in young adulthood - inherited a fire in his heart which can never be extinguished, save through further fire.

FIVE STARS.

The discreet charms of the bourgeoisie, trampled and trounced with numerous ferociously cool jabs of Beckett’s poison pen!!! Love it.

Kemelman is endlessly entertaining!

At 75, I now stand at the outermost peripheries of middle age, that time when the light of sober logic meets the second childhood of old age - a time of the start of a new age - a season of the Dreams of the Fairie!

It has been a long time since I read a perfect novel, but this is assuredly that rarity!

This one’s a gritty, dirt-delving psychological study of a much-loved Broadway actor who is incapable of feeling, or returning that love.

Wow. Pecunia Radix Malorum Est, INDEED!

Reading it in the collection Higher Gossip. Stunning!

A Dynamite Read, and So TRUE!
