I’m familiar with the story — thank goodness! — but this audio book was so over produced, I couldn’t hear it. I got lots of background noise and ambiance, but the actual words were lost in the cacophony!
Finally! A female main character who is not an idiot! Well, unless you count getting stuck in this lifetime situation in the first place as stupid. None of the “I knew something wasn’t right . . .” or “That can’t be what I think it is . . .” and “I was so stupid!” when…
Even though it’s a very short book, I’ve just not been able to continue with it, and I give up. I read The Mystical Life of Jesus and found it fascinating. The writing style was the same and, of course, a lot of secrecy about any sources. “They’re hidden and secret, but we have them.”…
This list is based on The Great Books of the Western World edited by Robert Hutchins and Mortimer Adler.

Chekhov maintained that the artist is not required to solve the problem but to correctly formulate it. I feel cheated when an author provides a tidy package without allowing me…
What a great week! First, I heard from Professor Grote. And today, Jim Tirey, the brains behind Textkit!! You always hope when you find that things have not changed for the better that there’s a happy reason. What a relief to know that’s true in this case. Not only that, but Jim was able to…
I wish I could remember where I picked this up. Might have been Hastings, but I get rid of their stickers as soon as possible because they put them in the most inconvenient places. Anyway, I haven’t finished the book yet, but I probably never will. It will be a nightstand/end table fixture from now…
