    “You better hush. God might hear you.” “Let ‘im hear me, I say. If he ever listened to poor colored women the world would be a different place, I can tell you.”

    god my former christian-cult adolescence feels so exposed & my current day agnostic atheism so affirmed

    Sad but beautiful. Felt very deeply in my heart. A vivid picture of dementia that makes you feel as if you are clawing your own way back. Favourite quotes: "...because he hasn't been alive long enough to allow anyone to keep his thoughts on Earth." "...he was a different man when Noah was born, became someone else as Grandpa than he had been as a father." "It's an awful thing to miss someone who's still here." "Yeah. The way home's getting longer and longer every morning now."

  • How was everyone’s January?

    I had a very successful January. I read 5 books, the most I’ve read in a month for some time, and enjoyed every one of them!

    How was everyone else’s January?

  • Kobo vs Kindle?

    I’m looking to purchase an ereader because I don’t have a lot of physical space and want to use it for books I want to try reading but don’t necessarily want in my physical book collection.

    I’ve seen great things about Kobo ereaders. I really don’t want to support Amazon more than I have to, but wanted folks thoughts on kindles as well?
