Hey.  It’s Friday!

This week I read:
When I Was a Child I Read Books
By: Marilynne Robinson
Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 1st edition (March 13, 2012)
224 pages

I am not sure what to say about this book. It is written by a well-published writer, and is titled: When I Was a Child I Read Books. So, I don’t know. I thought it was going to be a book about books. Maybe something similar to Larry McMurtry’s incredibly interesting work titled: Books: A Memoir. Instead, this book meanders, with little distinct conclusion, between religion, politics, education, and economics. Or, maybe I should have read the back cover and inside flap more carefully.

One of my favorite quotes:

Say that we are a puff of warm breath in a very cold universe. By this kind of reckoning we are either immeasurably insignificant or we are incalculably precious and interesting.

Potatoes On The Moon: I Spent a Week Probing the Alien Landscape of Idaho
By: Jim Goad
Thought Catalog Books (July 22, 2015)

Come and take a quick tour of Idaho with writer Jim Goad. Goad goes to Idaho for the same reason his writing shines: It’s different. Idaho is different, but there are tons of people ruining the place. All we can hope is that when Goad goes back to Idaho one day, he will write about it again.

One of my favorite quotes:

There are some places so beautiful that just being there feels like falling in love. The further this road stretches away from anything man made, the prettier everything gets. Little cotton-ball clouds cling to the green hills when we arrive at our cabin near dusk.
