This is the year of the memoir. Really. I've never noticed so many. A few I started to get bored with, as they seemed like a lot of navel gazing. (Except Bettyville. By George Hodgman.

Some personal thoughts on universal themes. Reflections on Reading about Others’ Painful Experiences. November 24, 2010 at 3:38 pm · Filed under Idealism despite Realism. Yesterday evening, I read through my new Oprah magazine. I read Oprah’s interview with Tyler Perry, and hearing about his childhood experiences broke my heart. Oprah is an amazing person and seems to be a wonderful empathic listener and friend. I have incredible admiration for Tyler Perry and his amazing success story. In psychology cla...

Some personal thoughts on universal themes. The Land of Plenty. November 23, 2010 at 4:19 pm · Filed under Books. As I attempt to clean and make some order out of the chaos of clutter in my house, I feel very fortunate. I live in my own personal land of plenty. Every hobby is completely supplied. For knitting, I have many skeins of yarn. For scrapbooking, I have many colorful papers. I may not have everything figured out, but I certainly can’t complain. I must study politics and war that my sons may have...

The Black Sheep Dances. Literary fiction, global poetry, translated literature, book reviews, reading challenges. Thursday, January 29, 2015. All the Birds Singing, by Evie Wyld. I read Wyld's first book After the Fire,A Small Still Voice. A few years ago and loved the suspense she creates. Eager to read this, I was not disappointed. Can he trust HER? The suspense leaves you breathless (I know that's a cliche but in this case very much appropriate). I kept reading faster to get more details about the...

The Black Sheep Dances: Remember Me Like This by Bret Anthony Johnston

The Black Sheep Dances. Literary fiction, global poetry, translated literature, book reviews, reading challenges. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Remember Me Like This by Bret Anthony Johnston. The first thing I liked about this novel is the region: the Texas Gulf Coast. I read a lot and I seriously can't remember any taking place in this area that were fictional. The details Johnston uses to create this locale are many and effective: I could picture it all happening. January 31, 2015 at 12:20 PM. Russian Ta...

The Black Sheep Dances. Literary fiction, global poetry, translated literature, book reviews, reading challenges. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Wolf Winter by Cecelia Ekback. You can't help but feel a bit of a chill while reading this; perhaps it would be best read at the beach as I think the Swedish location, high in the hills, is probably never warm.

Inside a silver locket she has worn for years, a gift from my father, are the stock photographs of the strangers it came with.". By the time my mother realized that she was smart or saw she had the kind of looks that open doors, she had already closed too many to go back.". Deranged. It hated its life). I am stayin...

The Black Sheep Dances. Literary fiction, global poetry, translated literature, book reviews, reading challenges. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. The Walk Home by Rachel Seiffert. In any case, some may get confused at the drama that exists, so if you can spare a moment to Google it or go to the Wiki page, you'll be rewarded. The book is worth the effort! This would be a great movie, and of course, I must cast Liam Neeson somewhere. I believe that is a law. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Books, Books Ev...
