"Reading the large print edition of this for work and it is incredibly fun so far, just a hundred or so pages into the story! I am loving the incorporation of Latin and Gaelic." Aug 01, 2025 07:14AM

Patrick N. Hunt, Hannibal

Tessa  Miller
“(Many chronically ill folks have more than one illness, as they often come in twos and threes and sometimes more. Multiple diagnoses are not at all strange in the chronic illness community. Think of it like any structure: If one part begins to crumble, others are likely to follow.)”
Tessa Miller, What Doesn't Kill You: A Life with Chronic Illness—Lessons from a Body in Revolt

Etty Hillesum
“The mother instinct is something of which I am completely devoid. I explain it like this to myself: life is a vale of tears and all human beings are miserable creatures, so I cannot take the responsibility for bringing yet another unhappy creature into the world.”
Etty Hillesum, An Interrupted Life: The Diaries, 1941-1943; and Letters from Westerbork

Adrienne Mayor
“The universal quest to find balance and harmony between men and women, beings who are at once so alike and so different, lies at the heart of all Amazon tales.”
Adrienne Mayor, The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across the Ancient World

Donna Jackson Nakazawa
“Adults with Adverse Childhood Experiences are on alert. It’s a habit they learned in childhood, when they couldn’t be sure when they’d face the next high-tension situation. After her terrifying childhood illness, Michele never felt at peace, or whole, as an adult: “I was afraid I could be blindsided by any small medical crisis that could morph and change my entire life.”
Donna Jackson Nakazawa, Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology, and How You Can Heal
