"I read Glenda Burgess' poignant and harrowing memoir, THE GEOGRAPHY OF LOVE, in one sitting-- in one breath -- and all I had ever felt about love's ability to vanquish everything, to swallow heartbreak, to correct history, Burgess makes us believe.
My friends and fellow readers and authors - Has reading THE GEOGRAPHY OF LOVE struck a chord in thinking about your own interior landscape and experience with life and fate?
Yesterday I went into our little independent bookstore to find Ken Kesey's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. I searched in vain through fiction, finally redirected to the Classics section.
As I read the latest reviews in the NYT Book review, I am struck by the degree to which fewer and fewer of us read for serious purposes outside of entertainment in fiction.
