Reading Journal For Human Use

For Human Use by Sarah G. PierceInitial Remarks

It’s been awhile, I know. I’m not quite sure I enjoy the reading journal format I’ve invented for myself here. But I’ll update it periodically, especially when something unusual happens. And the unusual thing that has happened here is that I decided not to finish a book. I don’t do that very often. I don’t do it at all with audiobooks. But I’ve done i

Quotes by Terry Bain  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When they are away, you will often look for the baby doll, but it is not always there, where it is supposed to be, where you left it. Sometimes The Baby moves it, or she takes it with her, and you have to settle for some other toy. You bring it into the living room and set it between your paws as you sleep. It helps you believe that one day you might be a real mother.”
Terry Bain, You Are a Dog: Life Through the Eyes of Man's Best Friend

“You owe reality nothing and the truth about your feelings everything.”
Richard Hugo

“Words were different when they lived inside of you.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

-Jeremy


Jeremy Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Terry Good lord. I wish I had a favorite novel. Then I could stop reading them.

Blessings,
Terry


Jeremy Hi Terry!

Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.

-Jeremy :)


Jeremy Thanks for the friendship, Terry!

If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel(if you have one)?

Also, I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to click here:

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

-Jeremy :)

PS--I'm happy to see that you gave THE MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK five stars.
