Books to the Rescue
With Stay-at-Home orders in place in many states, and with events cancelled, shops/salons/cafes closed, there is really no place to go and nothing to "do." Except read. Once, many people said they had no time to read, but now, we have lots of time. And books will save us--saving me--from the isolation and boredom. I can travel to faraway lands, meet amazing people, go back in time, and have unboun

Virgil Wander:
I think he is some type of mythical character that represents the "hard luck" of the town. The most telling scene is towards the end of the book when he is confronted by Virgil and Rune at his house and Adam escapes out the back door, shedding his cl

This little book provides lots of food for thought. It meanders through stories, some bizarre, but brings you no closer to truth. The author admits he cannot answer what is true. Two things I did get from it—from the author: -distrust everything you ...more |

Minnesota I really enjoyed this novel. Profound prose I found myself rereading and contemplating. Quirky characters, odd pursuits (kite flying, catching a huge sturgeon) and a town that has seen better days. Eiger captures the essence of small town l ...more |

Ireland 1918 I love Irish history and a linear narrative. This book has both plus a love story. Lots of tension and great pacing, a real page turner. I was so invested in the story I didn’t want it to end. |

“I remembered my own 'past' life, buying into the whole success myth, running on that hamster wheel and going nowhere, except from pleasure to pleasure, to new things, new titles, more accomplishments, wrapped up in my egocentric world of superficiality.”

― From the Hamster Wheel to Happiness in 10 Easy Steps
“The combat during the war was only a part of the horror. When soldiers came home, they were faced with new challenges, new fights to be won. When the anti-war public sentiment was strong, as it was during the Vietnam war, our brave soldiers came home to expressions of disdain and revulsion instead of the respect and honor they deserved. But perhaps the ultimate betrayal for veterans, who willingly risked their lives when their government asked, was making them fight to prove their sicknesses and disabilities were caused by the war in order to receive the free medical treatment they needed, or to be compensated. These were the worst indignities of war.”
