My amazing GR friend and erudite author Alan advises that he and his multitalented wife knew Dr. Thomas in his prolific heyday. What’s so interesting is that Alan’s liberal arts students couldn’t seem to fathom the depths of Thomas’ prose; but I know the broader spectrum of GR members will have no such problem!

If you can find it, BEG, BORROW OR STEAL a copy of this incredible little coffee-table book. It’s Virginia Woolf’s wonderful letters to those she loved - lovingly & lavishly illustrated! My wonderful better half got it for me today from Value Village...

Excellent read! Keeps you guessing but if you keep your eyes on the bouncing ball you’ll get the drift. Two runaways discover the real world underneath the endless glitz... Which one will end up standing on solid ground? I’ve made my bets!

Wonderful story - wonderful people. HIGHLY recommended to both younger kids & seniors!

A fabulous book for middle school age kids and parents of such kids! THIS ‘d make a great holiday gift for the kids or parents in your extended family and circle of friends. FILLED with laugh-out-loud moments in the lives of two kids, Growing Up Absurd! I’m loving it.

“There is poetry the moment we realize that we possess nothing.”

The Audible book is terrific - tweenie angst meets elderly Wisdom - and both youth and age are energized by the process! That’s my guess on the plot and I could be wrong...

Just read a hilarious excerpt from this collection - so at today’s Amazon Kindle sale price of $2.99 FOR THE SET, I just COULD NOT RESIST!

Darwin’s grimly agnostic Theory of Evolution cast a depressing pall over Christendom at the turn of the new age - TEMPORARILY! Enter Henri Bergson, with his wonderfully stimulating theory of L’Elan Vital - the Life Force - giving NEW Hope to all.

The insights in this big classic are formidable, so I listen carefully to every minute of this indispensable audiobook. Full of good food for cold weather thought!

Fabulously well-written book. Cusk is one of the best!

I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I am doing.

It is NOT irritating to be where one is.

It is ONLY irritating to think one would like to somewhere else.

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.
Like, just listen to that, over there: now THAT’s interesting!

I have read this in paperback, but now with my weak eyesight thought I’d revisit in on Kindle!

YIKES! After submitting to two weeks of penicillin for a painful tooth abscess, I’ve naturally caught the HUMUNGOUS strain of flu that’s just appeared! As George W. said, desperate times call for desperate measures!

A warm and caring book, so much like Sara.

A beautifully written, impeccable miracle of a novel: a tale of tragedy met - and overcome - by means of a clear-eyed and profound return to ancient family roots!

Made up my mind. I’m gonna give it the FULL FIVE STARS it deserves!

A staggeringly affecting, wonderfully well-written novel by my longtime GR friend Sara. I have always known her as a warm and engaging friend, but know her now, as well, as a brilliant writer.
This is a book for ANYONE who has known deep loss in their life!
