I'm in the midst of doing research on perfume and found this book by Chandler Burr. His prose was a delight to read--think John Berendt.

I read this book when it first came out. Given the current zeitgeist I felt the need to reread it. It was great both times. It does read like a textbook--lots of tiny details both in the textual analyses and where the Gettysburg Address sits in the h ...more

Rebecca Miles is 50% done with Lincoln at Gettysburg: This book came out in 1992, I bought it, put it on my book shelf but am just reading it now. Why Lincoln? He's probably the greatest most authentic speech writer in America.

I needed to immerse myself in beautiful language and democratic values and for that, Lincoln never disappoints. Lincoln cleanses the grim of the day to day politics of 2025. RM

“In the natural world, a vine that wraps itself around even the mightiest oak, in the end, suffocates it.”
Rebecca A. Miles, Locked Box

“all writing is rewriting....”
Rebecca Miles

“Kate Chambers, amateur sleuth in "Ground Truth: A Pittsburgh Murder Mystery," believes that "One drink sharpens your wit, two drinks makes you a philosopher, three or more drinks just makes you stupid.”
Rebecca A. Miles

“Not only was Agatha Christie the most successful novelist of the twentieth century, she was also someone who redefined the rules for her social class and gender.”
Lucy Worsley

“Kate Chambers, amateur sleuth in "Ground Truth: A Pittsburgh Murder Mystery," believes that "One drink sharpens your wit, two drinks makes you a philosopher, three or more drinks just makes you stupid.”
Rebecca A. Miles

“Kate Chambers, amateur sleuth in "Ground Truth: A Pittsburgh Murder Mystery," was reminded of her mother's early death when reading Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. "DEATH LIES UPON HER LIKE AN EARLY FROST UPON THE SWEETEST FLOWER OF ALL THE FIELDS.”
ROMEO AND JULIET

“The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same forms of mental pathology does not make these people sane.”
Erich Fromm
