A bit too romance-y even for me, similar mood as Wild Dark Shore but less structure to hold it together. But still enjoyable to read - a good airplane book!

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
"I'm not sure what to say about this book. I understand the hype, because the premise is very compelling and intriguing.
I think my main issue with the book is that the main character/narrator is very one-dimensional. She's basically just terrible, un" Read more of this review »

Impossible to rate. Incredible but infuriating. Reminded throughout of Knausgård, similarly impressed but annoyed by the stream of consciousness and cleverness and the utter refusal to edit down for the reader. Then discovered there is a SEQUEL for S ...more

The Idiot by Elif Batuman
"2.5/5 Stars.

I had a really complicated relationship with this book. On the surface, it appears to have everything I enjoy in a novel—a quirky protagonist, smart insights, dry humor, a character-driven narrative—but if I'm being honest, it was complet" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Sarah Rose Cavanagh  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How do we help young people shed their armor, read their physiological arousal as challenge rather than threat, embrace their vulnerability, and leap into not-knowing in order to learn?”
Sarah Rose Cavanagh, Mind over Monsters: Supporting Youth Mental Health with Compassionate Challenge

“Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, Father Greg Boyle”
Sarah Rose Cavanagh, Hivemind: The New Science of Tribalism in Our Divided World

“My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn.”
Louis Adamic

“And as much as I’d like to believe there’s a truth beyond illusion, I’ve come to believe that there’s no truth beyond illusion. Because, between ‘reality’ on the one hand, and the point where the mind strikes reality, there’s a middle zone, a rainbow edge where beauty comes into being, where two very different surfaces mingle and blur to provide what life does not: and this is the space where all art exists, and all magic.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“No one in the world gets what they want and that is beautiful.”
They Might Be Giants

“The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.”
Philip Roth, American Pastoral

“Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Ahead of All Parting: The Selected Poetry and Prose
