| I genuinely love being in Amor Towles' mind. Its strength and elegance are winning, just as they were in A Gentleman in Moscow. The opening photography exhibit placed me right in NYC and right back in my youth. Thank you, Mr. Towles. ...more | |

“Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its highest. Live in fragments no longer.”

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.”

“We live in a society whose whole policy is to excite every nerve in the human body and keep it at the highest pitch of artificial tension, to strain every human desire to the limit and to create as many new desires and synthetic passions as possible, in order to cater to them with the products of our factories and printing presses and movie studios and all the rest.”
― The Seven Storey Mountain
― The Seven Storey Mountain
“The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else's imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real!”

Hi Barbara,Did you mail me a copy of Guest House to review? I'm trying to make sure I tackle all the Goodreads' authors' books in the order that they were received, and for some reason, I don't have your book on my list. When you emailed me about I Smile Back, it jogged my memory! I apologize if you did, otherwise, ignore my comment if you didn't. I'm reading a lot of books at one time and going to college. So, I am keeping busy with a lot of work these days!
Good luck with finals...
Barb
