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

Like nothing I’ve ever read. Profound and evocative, it bends genre. Dystopian, apocalyptic, science fiction. About alienation, isolation, loneliness and what it means to be human. Published in 1995, it seems timely and speaks to the resilience, the ...more |

| Strout is so good at making the reader feel. This is a melancholy book about the hopelessness and isolation felt by Americans post pandemic and after the 2024 election. The main character is lonely despite being surrounded by people but the narrative ...more | |

“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.”

“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.”
