Just bought Malcolm Nance's new book, The Plot to Destroy Democracy, for some light reading at the beach house next week. Has anyone else read it or currently reading it? I do not want to be scared alone..

The paradoxical virtue of reading lies in distancing ourselves from the world so that we may make sense of it.

Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times?” Mo had said…”As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells…and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower…both strange and familiar.
~ Cornelia Funke, Inkspell

Though associated with the Beat Generation, this is a more recent poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

As a book lover I can't stand the idea that people read Cliff (Spark) notes or watch movies instead. However, I also realize that not all books, despite being labeled classic literature, are appealling to all people. Hence, I am sharing the best cheat sheet I have found..

Reading is as productive as it is enjoyable. When I read, I am a harmless, nice and quiet person and I don’t do anything stupid.

I still read a minimum of two romance books each week. I'll always be in love with the Happily Ever After.

This is just one of seven bookshelves, representing some of the more than a thousand books. (Some friends have been lucky recipients of dozens of books. 💟) And yes, I know they are out of order and discombobulated. That happens when you like to reread books and have more books than shelves. Notice, I didn't take a picture of the piles on the floor.

If you ever want to read a story about a strong female journalist, best to read one written by a strong female journalist. Read the I-Team series by Pamela Clare. Just my opinion.

Here is the spot to give a review of A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership by James Comey.

Many of us are just beginning or in the middle of it.. but wanted to put this here just in case.

Personally, I expect great things! He has an oxford comma right in the title! <Le Sigh!>

Have you ever loved an author so much that you must go back and reread all the books? If you like modern gothic stories, try Simone St. James

“There are large moments in life; but sometimes it is the small moments - the casual moments - that change everything. The second's absent wandering of attention before an accident. The choice to take one road, instead of another.”
― Simone St. James, The Haunting of Maddy Clare

Sam, have you had a chance to start Gods of Gotham? I'm wondering if you are engrossed in the life of Timothy Wilde yet?

But reading is socially accepted disassociation. You flip a switch and you’re not there anymore. It’s better than heroin. More effective and cheaper and legal.
