| Reading this, I began to feel that King and Cormac McCarthy were often tuned to the same creative wavelength. I don't know whether they were reading each other, but there certainly seems to be some of All the Pretty Horses in the style of The Gunslin ...more | |

Finally: movement! Both in terms of progress towards the goal (said goal still obscure) and territory covered and worldbuilding. The story begins to satisfy in more dimensions, and connects itself explicitly to its poetic sources. Still fantasy-horror; ...more |

| Lately finished my 5th or 6th or 7th re-read. Delightful experience. OSP has become one of those books that picking up again feels a bit like catching up with an old friend. The narrative is brilliantly crafted, and after multiple times through, one ...more | |

A charming fairytale, beautifully illustrated and produced. Rewards patience. Written to be read aloud, ideally over tea and cake (use the included recipe & tea pairing from the story). Savor the delivery. I was quite taken with the ending, and taken ...more |

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

“I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.”

When you find it, let me know; and if you don't, let's put that in the project queue to issue a CFS for.
I'm looking for a recommendation: I'd like a lovely little collection of poetry celebrating the beauties of the body. A sweet little hardback (like the Everyman's Pocket Poetry editions) would be nice, and I'd prefer an anthology rather than a single-authored collection. Do you have any suggestions?
Hello, J. Aleksandr! Thanks for the Friend Request--I accept! Congratulations on your publishing success! I like your definition of 'bookworm,' er, 'bookdragon,' and your quote by Carol Shields! I can't believe I've never seen that before, it's so perfect--thank you for having it among your quotes for me to find! I hope you're having a good weekend and will have a good week ahead.Best wishes from Majenta
Hello J. Aleksandr,Thank you for accepting my friend request. Have a great day and good luck to your writing endeavors!
Richard
