Hammett reads...Hammett and Wynne Jones are amazing. Hammett reads like poetry--and breaks every rule in Margie Lawson's book. (I suspect she's much more of a Raymond Chandler fan.) As for Wynne Jones--HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. 'Nuff said. :DJean Marie Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549107203357246640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-54755108462815219842012-11-17T10:03:31.767-05:002012-11-17T10:03:31.767-05:00Good points, all. The more I think about it, over...Good points, all. The more I think about it, over the last couple years, the more I've come to realize that the collective hallucination of the last seventy-five years as brought about by television and bad institutional education is nothing more than a shielding and shading of reality. The more I learn about history the more I realize what I was taught as history is a paltry reflection of it that has little in common with the actual events.<br /><br />I wish I could remember the author but there's a woman writing a story about, I think, someone who lived during the time of Lincoln, and darned if I can't remember the name or attribution. What stuck in my mind was her comment, paraphrased here, "What interested me were the great silences in history." She was writing about the women behind important events and that phrase intrigued me. I look forward to the literary work and scholarship of the next decade as we collectively wake up from what seems to me to be a several decades long sleep and realize there's more to us women than we realized.<br /><br />Or, maybe I'll just have some more coffee. ~grin~ Thank you for a lovely post! Very thought-provoking. AND it added to my TBR pile. ~glares~A. Catherine Noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375569313449912140noreply@blogger.com
