My Wars Are Laid Away in Books: The Life of Emily Dickinson | 
pickJust me, the rain, ED and COVID for the past two days. Nothing like forced isolation to get you through a 600 + page biography! I loved it. I had wanted to place Emily‘s writing in context of community and cohorts and family and domestic detail which this really does well. Habegger has his idea of who “Master” is, i think it remains a mystery myself. And isn‘t that fitting! The work here on her family is thorough and well balanced I think ⬇️
Centique I expect I‘ll read one or two more biographies of ED before I‘m done (I have at least that many on my shelves unread) 2y
Rissreads I hope you are feeling ok? I‘m still recovering from covid 2 weeks ago. It‘s really taken the wind out of me! 2y

Centique @Rissreads oh you poor thing! A lot of my friends have said the same thing, even the younger really fit ones. They did get their energy back eventually. I‘ve just started to cough, I‘m hoping I‘m over the worst of it though. @CarolynM 2y
Cinfhen Oh no!!! Is it only you or does the whole family have Covid?? Sending loads of love and get well wishes xxxx 2y
batsy I'm sorry to hear that, Paula. Take care and gets lost of rest and I hope it's not too bad for you 💕💐 (This ED biography sounds pretty great!) 2y
Centique @Cinfhen just me at this point. But a few of my friends I saw in the weekend have it now as well. We have finally got to the same point as Australia where almost everyone has had it. Good thing is that I hadn‘t gone to see dad this weekend 👍 2y
Centique @batsy you might like it! Do you like biographies? It seems strange that I read biographies like they‘re page turners but then struggle with other non-fiction like memoirs and books of essays. 🤷🏻♀️ 2y
Bookwormjillk I hope you have a speedy recovery 2y
Cinfhen Im sorry you have it but glad you weren‘t around your dad 🙏🏼 2y
batsy Yes! I'm exactly the same with biographies 💕 A well-written one gives me so much pleasure and devour most of them but I tend to run into a stumbling block with most memoirs and essay collections, too. 2y
MaureenMc Wishes for a quick recovery! ❤️🩹 2y
