Jung speaks about his childhood and youthful perceptions of the world. Fascinating.

Roxane Gay's narration of her own writing is excellent. Writing into the Wound is a very current and relevant essay.

I like this book and do not agree with the critical commentary I have read that compares it to Orwell. Simply stated, no comparison to 1984 is justified.

The chapter on Andy Warhol makes the entire book worthwhile so far. But it is eclipsed by the next chapter on David Wojnarowicz. Now, I am led to pursue his writings on art and sex.

Learning about Henry Darger's unusual solitude and the work that resulted is fascinating. This book has opened many doors on the obscure and unknown. It is a treasure.

Parable of the Sower is simply excellent, especially the audio version read by Lynne Thigpen. This book, set in 2025 seems a disturbingly accurate prediction.

Intoxicating...

Once in a great while, there comes a book that seems to possess magical powers. Like the subject explored in this book, my opinion is based on my personal experience. That experience is transforming the way I think about both writing and reading. It was written more than 40 years ago and is typically referenced as a book about reading. But, I believe it is a book intended for writers.

What a terrific tale, about going back to Ghana, Africa and the surprises it entails.

Wow! I love this book for expanding my universe.

It's getting quite strange...

I love this book!

I am totally immersed in this book, written in 1847, and still fresh as a daisy.

Lots to think about when you create a world without water.
