| I really liked this book. As a long-time NFL watcher (40+ years) I often bemoan how much the game has changed. I long for the simplistic days of the early 1980s. I detest the "big party" atmosphere of games today. This book helped me understand exact ...more | |

| Reading this book made me mad! As it is supposed to. Lucia tells the story of her stalker and how little help she received from her employer (Minnesota Public Radio), law enforcement, and some members of her family. I was getting physically anxious a ...more | |

It took me a little bit to get into this, but once I did I kept turning the pages. It wasn't exactly a fast read like a lot of King books. I wish I had paid closer attention in the beginning so I could better see how everything came together. I could ...more |

| I blasted through this book; it was hard to not read it all in one sitting but I wanted to savor it just a bit more so I read it over two days. I knew a little about the Mitfords and their place in society, most of my knowledge coming from Jessica's ...more | |

| This is my umpteenth re-reading of this book. It remains my favorite book of all time. It takes a lot to make me cry; I am not a crier. Especially when I read something. It's not even the ending that gets me (though it certainly does); it's all the b ...more | |

| What a delight! It takes me back to the days when things were not immediately available at the click of a button. Helene Hanff, in 1949, is looking for old editions of books, which she cannot find in New York City (except very expensive rare editions ...more | |
“Stories weren't just make believe, all Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose. I saw a circle: first life, then death. Spring, summer, fall, winter. Blue sky and storms and quilts of cold clouds occupy the same space but at different times. Memories and stories help you rebuild. Things most precious to you may be gone, lost to the wicked wind, but you remember what had been, and you move on.”

“Maybe you’ve made something mediocre—there’s plenty of that in any artist’s cabinets—but something mediocre is better than nothing, and often the near-misses, as I call them, are the beckoning hands that bring you to perfection just around the blind corner.”
