Book list, a little late
[image error]Before January evaporates I thought I would list the books I read last year, which I like to do because I spend a lot of time reading. At the beginning of this year I set a goal to read more, though I’m conflicted about setting some goal around it.
There are roughly three things I want from books: 1) edification; 2) expansion; and 3) entertainment/engagement. (Not in that order.) Grea

of
The Keeper: Soccer, Me, and the Law That Changed Women's Lives:
"Utterly adored this book. Football (soccer), feminism and writing! Can’t rate it highly enough. Beautifully written and illustrated, thought provoking and poignant, and a little history education along the way. Ka pai!! "

“The written word, obviously, is very inward, and when we're reading, we're thinking. It's a sort of spiritual, meditative activity. When we're looking at visual objects, I think our eyes are obviously directed outward, so there's not as much reflective time. And it's the reflectiveness and the spiritual inwardness about reading that appeals to me.”

OK, Sarah, I've got my Moby pic up and ready for sail come late October (note look of fear and loathing).
So far she's been clever enough to stay away from it. It is a bane of a word. It kills entire sentences.I've been loving your selections for the PotD, btw.
Loved your poem "from train 21," posted on your blog, Sarah. The seemingly contradictory tone / pace of headlong rush and reflection is quite effective.It also makes me think of Pound's "In a Station of the Meto" -- The apparition of these faces in the crowd; / Petals on a wet black bough.
Salut S! Good to see you here and be GR buds!-shanti *t
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)
Hi Brooklyn,I recommend "The Bell" above all. Thanks for asking. I would like to read it again. I also loved "The Sea, The Sea." "A Word Child" would be third in line.... maybe tied with "The Sacred and Profane Love Machine."

love the addition of the stephen wright quote: he's some kind of low-key genius, no?
