| Of course, this is Oates, so I knew it would be dark - but boy, it's very dark, full of death, widows, hauntings both real and mental, and unreliable narrators galore. I found myself mostly riveted, and glad I read this during a sunny summer week, ot ...more | |

| About halfway through, I said "nope". Could no longer go along with the unbelievable plot or invest any caring in the utterly stupid heroine. But I did read all the way to the end. That's 2 hours of my life I won't get back! Nightmarish, and for some ...more | |

| The only home invasion novel I've ever read that kept me attentive, wasn't a simple gore-fest, and introduced enough doubt into the fear to be realistic. True horror! Well written, with a good balance of the poetic and the visceral, with believable d ...more | |

| A good guide for those workaholics who are addicted to success, prestige, money, fame, or all of the above, this is realistic, empathetic, and wise. Having made a major midlife career change myself, I can attest to the guidance herein. I read this mo ...more | |

| One of the best graphic novels I've ever encountered, an amazing adaptation that should be required reading for middle school students (and perhaps early high school, depending). Vivid, heartbreaking, and immersive. ...more | |

“After Years
Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.”
