"We are now back in Moscow and St. Petersburg learning more about the at home adventures and misadventures of our warriors. The story remains interesting and readable, but the book is so heavy, my arthritic wrist begs for a break." Feb 08, 2025 10:50AM

"This huge book with the skinny pages and the fine print broke in half while I was reading. It actually helped...holding it open to read the words at the binding was breaking my hands. But the story is readable enough. Jonathan's war work being finished, he has begun to write a book, which Mr. Norrell is not happy about. Then the scene switched to Faerie, which is fun."

"I then returned to The Code Breaker for another 50 pages. Again we are immersed in how complicated giving credit to the correct scientist(s) when several in different parts of the world worked to develop something as earthshattering as a procedure that can cure virus born diseases, many cancers, and even some genetic diseases!"

“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Grace Lee Boggs
“When you read Marx (or Jesus) this way, you come to see that real wealth is not material wealth and real poverty is not just the lack of food, shelter, and clothing. Real poverty is the belief that the purpose of life is acquiring wealth and owning things. Real wealth is not the possession of property but the recognition that our deepest need, as human beings, is to keep developing our natural and acquired powers to relate to other human beings.”
Grace Lee Boggs, The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century
