"Thoughtful and real
I thoroughly enjoyed The Grey Wolf and found it a thoughtful story that was experienced through characters who came across as real. There was always the base in Three Pines where there was coffee and croissants and family that offe" Read more of this review » |

The Secret Knowledge of Water: Discovering the Essence of the American Desert by Craig Childs (2000-03-24):
"This is the second book that I’ve read by Craig Childs. It is amazing. I plan on reading all of his books and right now. I’m reading one about his going to the ice fields of Patagonia. This one reminds me a little bit of Dave Canford‘s book, the wate"

"The Moon Rock starts in a promising way. Good gothic location—creepy gothic house and characters set on a rugged promontory high above the stormy sea in Cornwall. It opens with a burial, an obsessive father determined to have himself made into a reco"

The author who is French is apparently known for his crime thrillers. This, however, is a novel about the winter war of 1939/40 when Stalin invaded Finland. There are parallels with today’s war in Ukraine. Stalin thought it would be won in days but t ...more |

“Good, because I don't believe in the capitalist system that makes the rich richer and keeps the poor enslaved. Did you know the Nazis that you fought against just reinvented themselves after the war? Persuaded the United States that they were a lesser evil than the Soviets. They made the world fear communism more than fascism, to enable them to infiltrate and control the levers of power. They've even kept their shrine right here in this city.”

“Ennui clogged our souls like cold mutton fat. Our bones ached because of it. The clock’s hands stood at four, and supper was not till six, and there was nothing left remarkable beneath the visiting moon.”

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

“It took being forced into unwanted matchmaking for me to discover who I was, what I wanted, and my own perfect match. Isn’t that what we all want down deep? To be seen for who we are, even with all our flaws, and be loved anyway. Completely.”
