pickThis book has changed my understanding of death row and our criminal justice system. Very powerful.
pickI like Nicholas Sparks books for escape-reading and who doesn‘t need a good escape these days? This book definitely did the trick. I love Sparks‘ N.C. settings, and now all I want to do is read the letters from Kindred Spirit!
panI just finished this book and was hoping I‘d like it by the end but it just didn‘t happen. It was very disjointed for me and there was phrasing I didn‘t follow. By the end, I just thought “We waited this whole time and you see her but that‘s it?!?!?” I get the meaning behind that but still...I was just glad to be done so I could move on to the next book.
I started a staff/faculty book club at work and this book was our first choice. Really enjoying it so far.
It [the Great Hall] was lit by thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. [...]Harry looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars [...] It was hard to believe there was a ceiling there at all, and that the Great Hall didn't simply open on to the heaven. #20years #potterhead
On my visit to the American Writers Museum, I came across an early draft of On The Road.
