"Despite it's size , Pascua Yaqui is a sovereign world;I come here every Easter to watch an irresistable pageant combining deer dances with crucifixion...Religion of that kind can crack your mind open the way lightening splits a pine, leaving the wind to howl through the scorched divide. p 21" — Feb 18, 2018 01:02PM

"If you could see the preface and contents of this volume you might be more impressed by the progress. Ramism is why we have tables of contents, and such a dichotomized way of analysis. It's interseting that ramifications means to branch, and I have no idea as to whether the guy took his name from this or his name came to mean it. In a nutshell, that's what he's about. Big influence in New England thought." — Jan 04, 2016 03:39PM

"Perhaps I am allergic to what could be called drawing room novels, and I know I struggle with the epistolary form in novels. This is a tedious read about attempted seduction of a maid, by her smitten master. I am confused about Richardson's motives for writing the book aside from a desire to show off the letter as a literary form. I am reminded of The Pearl, a voyeristic book of porn I once dipped into as a teenager." — Jun 12, 2018 09:28AM

Lissa’s Quotes

“The bed was warm and ordinary and perfect, and it had been such a long, long day. Probably the longest day of my life. I felt like I had proof that not all days are the same length, not all time has the same weight. Proof that there are worlds and worlds and worlds on top of worlds, if you want them to be there.”
― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home
