If you should find yourself in the Midwest (after your Gettysburg trip), there's this: From Revolutionary Outcast to a Man of God: Dostoevsky at 200 The Fall 2021 Main Library Gallery exhibition, From

This is your narrator, not you, speaking. I love the "unreliable narrator" - and get frustrated when book reviewers complain about some unlikable character without seeing where this is going.

LOVE it love it LOVE it! As always, I could highlight every line as a beacon, a tease, a temptation to other readers to #ReadThis excellent post. Hundreds of thousands of new posts appear daily at Hive,

I love Covid! Never thought I'd say that, but I love Covid the Cat! We had a stray at our door, one bitter winter, but I was unable to bribe him with food to lure him to shelter in our house. Very feral.

You cover so much, so well - I could spend entire days reading your posts. Kafka. The simple sentence. The revelation that all is well (indeed, it is perfect!). Alice. Narnia. And how deftly you capture

Your Oscar Wilde quote on Twitter captures the wit and mood your "softer light" does for me:

I love this! The sober (sobering) reflections on being in the afternoon of one's life (but only 48; that's high noon, isn't it? Surely you plan to live to at least age 100!) - sipping tea, contemplating

You're right, print and digital books have their own strengths (like, no need to re-charge the paperback). I love the built-in night light of a Kindle. I used to have an awkward little lamp to attach to

Funny, just today at a dog group, someone else recommended diatomaceous earth for giardia in dogs (drinking from mud puddles and creeks is one source for that bacteria), and said it worked for his dogs,

That's diligence, test-germinating seeds before planting. My native prairie plants self-seed. Luck of the draw. I have a $20 bag of diatomaceous earth that I was supposed to sprinkle on the dogs' food

You are my soul mate, omg, I love you!!! Just EVERYTHING here... you actually clicked the link and played that song, and you like it... and people get mad at you, and you challenge their beliefs, and you

I'm also smitten with the idea of time travel - even wrote some short stories about a German soldier, WWII era, who comes up with a time machine and goes back to save people without violating the grandparent

To "read" artwork - that's a whole 'nother language. I'm not fluent in that one. Not even close. I can barely grasp poetry! So many ideas, insights, and truths sail right over my head, but I

Thank you, and what is this gorgeous image--a photo of your own? #LOVE it! Purple Haze - you've heard this one, I'm sure: "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" - often misheard (a mondegreen) as

What a beautiful post! The lavender haze of (wisteria?), the beach, the brown saints, the purple of surrender - Easter, The Passion, Holy Week, all is purple. The vestments, the altar linens. Purple was

Love the quotes from Rilke and Eliot, and love the way you review books. Your writing is smooth and natural, easy to read, easy to comprehend, yet bursting with insight and erudition. Not an easy

Of all the impressive things in this post, you got me with this: Moby Dick (required reading in grade school) - in grade school? What kind of school did you attend, college for kids? That one was over

You ran out of candy after an hour... did you turn off the porch light and escape being "tricked" (property damage, toilet paper in trees, eggs on cars, and in days of yore, outhouse tipping)?

I have the Steemit passwords, and somewhere in the safe, a printout of the Hive passwords.... Wouldn't you think I could find that one piece of paper in the safe....? God forbid i should have to type out
