"(4.4) Turgenev. We all know Dostoyevsky, we all know Tolstoy, we all know Chekhov, some know Pasternak, Gogol and Goncharov, but Turganev...he is and was an outlier to me. "Fathers and Children" or as I had known over the years as "Fathers and Sons" "

Diane's review
of
Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America:
"I've become a bit obsessed about the opioid crisis, and I blame John Green for starting me on this path.
You see, last month I read Green's excellent book "Everything is Tuberculosis," which mentions how pharmaceutical companies like Johnson & Johnson" Read more of this review » |

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

“I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.”

“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”

“Civilised life, you know, is based on a huge number of illusions in which we all collaborate willingly. The trouble is we forget after a while that they are illusions and we are deeply shocked when reality is torn down around us.”

“I love short stories because I believe they are the way we live. They are what our friends tell us, in their pain and joy, their passion and rage, their yearning and their cry against injustice.”

HAPPY NEW YEAR BRIAN! Greetings from snowy Zurich to Thailand :)
I read many wonderful fiction books in 2014, Memoirs of Hadrian being the one which left me most in awe.
If it isn't too much to ask, I'd love to know your favorite fiction and non-fiction read of 2014. My favorite fiction reads were Ulysses and State of Grace; my non-fiction bests were Volume 3 of Rising Up and Rising Down and The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad.
Here's to a fabulous year of reading in 2015!
Thank you, Jasmine! Very exciting to connect with another lover of the written word. I look forward to discussing books with you and perusing your shelves of favorite reads.

Not sure which titles to get? Friend MJ Nicholls has you covered with an entire shelf dedicated to this publisher (peruse and purchase!)
Kitty siblings rock :)
Thanks Richard - the same to you! I look forward to another year of book discussions with you.

That's an awesome quote Ian - you've made my day.

Thank YOU, Ceridwen - keep up the good fight.
Not yet, "Rector of Justin" is still my only read. I was looking at the stack of his books yesterday and wanted to pick one up soonish.
Will send you a photo tomorrow of the books.

Public transport looks plenty feasible, so count me in.

Likewise, Fionnuala - your writing is fabulous. I look forward to spending time with your 200+ reviews!
You are so right. And given their global diaspora, weekend visitations will require a sick amount of frequent flier miles.
Many thanks in advance!
