Jenny’s Recent Updates

Jenny and 93 other people liked Darwin8u's review of Purity:
Purity by Jonathan Franzen
""So many Jonathans. A Plague of literary Jonathans. If you read only the New York Times Book Review, you'd think it was the most common male name in America. Synonymous with talent, greatness. Ambition, vitality.”
- Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
"I admire Franzen for his technicality and his understanding of human nature, but this was a 600 page slog of unlikeable characters. Life's short and it wasn't worth the time."

“This faith transforms the whirlwind of despair into a warm and reviving breeze of hope. The words of a motto which a generation ago were commonly found on the wall in the homes of devout persons need to be etched on our hearts:
Fear knocked at the door.
Faith answered.
There was no one there.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love

“We are all failures- at least the best of us are.”
J.M. Barrie
