Do you know the poem Peonies by Mary Oliver? Enjoy! :-)

Thanks for sharing - it’s quite a beautiful poem that I wasn’t familiar with before. Those interested can see Mary Oliver read “Peonies”, and several other poems, in this video.

I don’t really watch television, ever, not because I have anything against it but simply because I don’t have the time. Mad Men, however, I will make time for, because it’s bizarre, amazing, and I lo...

thoughts on henry miller? what books of his would you recommend?

I’ve read Tropic of Cancer - which is worth reading - but I am not too familiar with the rest of his oeuvre. If you do read more of his works, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

She certainly does provoke a strong response from people. I read The Fountainhead in high school, but I don’t really trust my opinions at that age. I’m not sure what I’d feel today.

On the whole, my days are normal. I think… I have a personal blog, Of Recreation, where I write about my daily life. I can’t guarantee it’ll be interesting, but feel free to check it out :).

what are some good Romantic novels or short stories? (as in, from the Romantic era)

People are more ‘Romantic’ in spirit, I think, when they are young, so it’s no surprise that so many great Romantic novels and stories have young protagonists and were penned by authors who were, at ...

I began photographing books last March as a way to cope with the loss of my grandmother. Though she passed away before she had the chance to see my pictures, I think they’d have made her happy....

I’m inspired by too many authors to count. Some good biographies? The Mitfords, Stacy Schiff’s biography of Vera Nabokov, and Damned to Fame: The Life of Samuel Beckett are all wonderful.

how many books do you carry around with you at a time? what is in your bag now?

I carry at most a book at a time. I am a weakling, and books can be heavy. At the moment I’m lugging Anna Karenina around with me though not in my bag, as it wouldn’t fit. This is in my bag at the mo...

do you have a kindle? if so, do you recommend it? or do you prefer print books?

For convenience sake, I do have a Kindle Fire (refer to post). But I have to admit that I prefer the sensory experience of reading actual books.

Do you like to read at libraries? If so, please explain why?

When I’m in a library, I feel calm and safe. If I’m in a bad mood, being surrounded by books makes me feel better. Holly Golightly went to Tiffany’s; I go to the library.
