Advance Review Copy Sam Richardson is a janitor at the Denver offices of Dark Enterprises. What does DE produce? Hard to say, but…everything of your worst nightmares: curses and evil deeds and related services. Like Dow, Enron, and Arby’s. But Sam’s h ...more |

| Arthur Less is a mediocre novelist about to turn fifty. At one time he was the lover of a famous poet, and sometimes felt like a “hanger-on.” And now his new love is marrying another man…and he’s invited to the wedding. To avoid it, and to avoid bein ...more | |
"Really enjoyed this one. Author does a great job of taking some really tired romance tropes: ultra wealthy male lead, marriage/dating of convenience, etc but still creating a really lively story. Glad she avoids explicit scenes while still building b"

of
The Handmaid's Tale (The Handmaid's Tale, #1):
" 4.5 ⭐️ rounded up for Goodreads.
We are two-legged wombs, that's all: sacred vessels, ambulatory chalices. I have read a lot of horror in my lifetime, watched a lot of it, too. Yet, nothing is quite as horrific as the events that took place in this" Read more of this review » |

"Man oh man, I can see why this book is considered a classic. It is truly timeless. The sheer brutality, the torment, the gore. It drew me in, yet repulsed me. The terror felt by each character was palpable, and the tension kept me on the edge of my s"

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
― You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
― You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life
“All fiction is largely autobiographical and much autobiography is, of course, fiction.”

“When I'm running I don't have to talk to anybody and don't have to listen to anybody. This is a part of my day I can't do without.”
― What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
― What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”
