A DYNAMITE book. WE choose our own prisons. We hate them, they make us FURIOUS with the world, yet WE are the ones who Choose them, Through Stress and resulting Mental Laziness.
Are we CRAZY?
NO. The WORLD is... But WE can untie our KNOTS.
No pain, no gain. It's our choice.
READ THIS!

Like their husbands, midlife women often change course in their lives at menopause. For men & women, it's a time for RE-INVENTING Ourselves! I love this book. It can inspire us!

Audible Audiobook!

In Canada, this remarkable book - by the author of the incredible Poetics of Space (see my review) - is in the public domain, and hence readily available in PDF format. Check out Google to see if that’s the case in your country - all you need is basic French!
Like Spinoza, Bachelard believed all true knowledge to be intuitive. Once we progress intellectually, we build our OWN scientific understanding on intuition.

Did you know Rudyard Kipling wrote crackling good SF yarns (this one has devilishly small print - but who's about to complain for a mere two bucks)? I kid you not. A real deal I wasn't gonna forget!

Wonderful, as my GR friend Steven said it would be!

Having only recently gained understanding of the deeply religious origins of Derrida’s incredible way of thinking, I now look at this incredibly wistful group of final conversations as preeminently suggestive of a transcendently indecipherable reality at a far remove from pop culture…

Literature in Secret: An amazingly sensitive & enlightening study of the metaphysical ramifications of Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling.

Abbe Mouret's health is increasing exponentially - and likewise, the sunlight of Memory, alas!, will necessarily follow.

I'm now turning to Literature in Secret, a metaphysical exploration of the secrets in our books (see my review of Gift of Death).

The family’s first postwar billet! Wonderful tranquility after the Nazi storm.

As a lifetime Aspie, I'm quite enjoying this - my dear sister's 2020 Christmas gift!

Ouch! He shoulda listened to Will Rogers: "Never miss a good chance to shut up!" Quite the book.

Riveting book all the way!

When the author - who is a GR member - noticed I had tagged his book TBR, he graciously offered me a copy. I’m glad he did.
This book takes me back to a doleful time in my life, 50 years ago, when I was down and out for no just cause. Such is life, and like Anthony, by the grace of God, I fought to right those wrongs by doing good. It works.
Anthony, too, has succeeded and righted his steps, a brave and a good man!

Isabel, ever the adroit ethicist, politely parries random thrust after random thrust of stray cattiness, cool as a cucumber!

A thoughtful and often discomfiting book about entering the aged half of life!

Jedidiah Jenkins is so much like I was in my thirties. Well - I was never gay, but I was separated from my more with-it peers at an early age - in my case, by klutziness, Asperger's and the intimidation that comes from being DIFFERENT. So it's neat to see him trying to get to the roots of his insecurity and trying to boost his self-confidence, as I did. All in all, it's endlessly absorbing.

Taking the seaward route into Battle! Is this the end of that evil usurper Mirzan?

An ancient Christian text dating from the sixth century, describing the far-flung war between the failing Roman Empire and the rising Persian Empire, where Joshua lived as a hermit in the deserts of modern-day Syria. How many such priceless artefacts have been irretrievably lost during recent Mid-East conflicts?

Oh, what a grand tale it is, as all the loose threads come together!

Preparing for Narnian Armageddon, or, The Animals Get Their Revenge!

Sheer glorious ESCAPISM!

Wonderful story, chronologically set in the future of Narnia, long after the first four kids' castle is in ruins.

Wow. MY kind of book!!!

Delicious. A deliciously macabre treat!

When an Aspie like me goes public on social media he or she often faces an intermittent barrage of verbal snipes and unkind twists of the knife. Such is the real world! But Aspies never fully adjust to such rapid-fire denigration. It's NOT a kind world. So we Aspies are constantly sweeping fragments of ourselves off the floor and pasting them back together. This budget-priced book tells us how to do that well!

SUPER GOOD!!!
