📚💙I love Ian McEwan's book so much that I am giddy about it. Check out this amazing quote from What We Can Know:

"poetry, not the novel, was literature’s indispensable form. The spoken or written poem was as old as literature, perhaps as old as speech, with roots in song, in the rhythms of daily life and the body’s pulse, in the hunger to catch the passing moment and to glorify love."

Looks just like my little Elli!

I've been going backwards lately. Right now I am all about Bessie Smith.

Me too. There are only so many Gunsmoke and MASH reruns that I can watch.

This seems...unwise.

I don't write prose, but I would think that, as a writer, you have a deeper appreciation for great writing. Naturally, you would pick up on that as a reader. I'm learning guitar and it has changed the way I hear music. Similar.

Funny how differently I read this now than I did when I was young.

I am reading Ian McEwan's latest - What We Can Know and I love it.

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.

Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.

Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.

Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.

Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

I want to see the people out on the street, passing out cookies, doing each other's hair, and hugging when the gestapo shows up.

Just got a letter from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield saying that they can require that surgeries like a hip replacement take place in a doctor's office or an Ambulatory Surgery Center instead of a hospital. But they helpfully point out that the parking is better, so it's a win-win for everyone.

Lol - I have a weak spot for domestic thrillers. They are glorious trash.

The Blandings Castle books with Lord Emsworth and his prize pig, The Empress of Blandings, are also a good choice.

Anything Wodehouse and the Lucia Stories by EF Benson. But reading in general is comfort to me.
