This was an entertaining read with sweet dollops of wisdom and inspiration to give it a little heft. The author used one craft technique a little too much in my opinion--the list. It's a great way to provide a lot of detail, but he got a bit carried ...more

This Body by Laurel Doud
"Such a wonderfully weird book about the chance to live a completely different life...while also struggling with loss, parenting, and addiction. Shakespeare, art-making, and sexual desire thread throughout."

Patricia Hi Diane,
Good to connect as friends here. I like GoodReads a lot. I don't participate in too many forums, but I love the recommendations I get by checking out what my friends are reading, and I enjoy writing reviews of books I've just read because it usually generates a few comments and that feels like a cyber book club.

In that vein, may I recommend my book to you? You can read about it on my profile here and order it from Amazon.

Hope you are well,
Patricia
