An impeccable MARVEL of a novel!

Many thanks to my good friend Kierkegaard’s Pancakes for recommending this wonderful book! Being well into The Milkman, I needed some light, diversionary reading badly as an escape from its grimness. I in turn recommend it to all those among you who love our animals!

There are a few typos, but I can’t help thinking that’s par for the course for a rurally self-published book that only wants, after all, to give hope and encouragement to us bedraggled wayfarers - distantly spread out as we are - with no clue what the next turn in this viral path will bring! I think the stories are wonderful. And at $1.99, you can’t go wrong!

Here’s an interesting read for you! Kenny Crawford canvassed contacts from around the world for their personal pandemic ‘adventure and misadventure’ stories. It’s going for 99 cents on Kobo, to name just one source.

Golly gee - read THIS and expect a Joyride into the incredibly advanced alien headspace of a wanna-be-human BODY SNATCHER - and the Laughs ‘n Aperçus just keep on ROLLING!!!

Brilliant essay!

Sad tale...

An invigorating breath of Fresh Air for our Weary Postmodernist Souls. And we’re ALL postmodernists now - like it or not!

Leslie Meier is up to her usual top cozy form!

Now the Light appears at the end of the long, hard tunnel!

Well-nigh impossible to PUT DOWN at this point! This is gonna be FIVE STARS: of that I’m sure. WOW!

“I just kept praying. I tried to give myself over to God in every way I could think of, and I put it all in His hands. There was nothing else I could do. The doctors had done all they could. I’d given all I had to give. There was no other medicine I could take, no other workout I could do. I truly had nowhere else to turn but to God.”

“Detachment is a sort of Natural Ego Antidote. It’s EASY to be emotionally invested and infatuated with your own work. Any and every narcissist can do that. What is rare is not raw talent, skill, or even confidence, but humility, diligence, and self-awareness.”

“He is a bold surgeon, they say, whose hand does not tremble when he performs an operation upon his own person; and he is often equally bold who does not hesitate to pull off the mysterious veil of self-delusion, which covers from his view the deformities of his own conduct.”
