Comment: Thank you for sharing. I really loved what you wrote about The Pillow Book. I always wanted to read it, since I first heard about it in my favorite movie of the same name. I definitely need to read the original.

Response: Thanks! My favorite books are classics and experimental fiction, though I enjoy lots of "regular" literary fiction too! I definitely read less genre fiction than most people I know. It's wonderful that there's SO MANY books in the world -- we can all read whatever we want and never run out. :)

Response: It's a super fun place -- called Sylvia Beach. If you're ever in Newport, Oregon, it's worth a stay. I did enjoy The Trial. Some dark, twisted humor, for sure. My November favorite was definitely In the City of Shy Hunters. Hope you're well!

Comment: Thanks for sharing your lists! My good reads lists has some back from 2016, I think, but I never really got terribly organized - I try to read what I've bought new first, and then library books, but books I get as trades or buy used tend to get forgotten a little more often. When I started this whole procedure years ago, I wish I'd kept a written copy - my digital copy was eaten by my old computer. :( Along with the photos of the book stacks. :( :( I'm impressed by your progress though! :) and I agree about "Brave New World" - I never had to read it in school, neither did my kids, but I feel like I'm among the very last in the world to read it! Someday ... :)
Response: Now that I've finally read Brave New World, you might be officially last! Thanks for the rating. Oh, and if no one else said already, I'm happy to take over the TBR progress swaps. I don't really do the Unread shelf project so might drop that part, but I like the monthly check-in for my TBR list!

Comment: Thank you for the postcard! Even though I have a degree in literature and have heard of Proust and his influence, I realized I've never read any of his work. I'm a slow reader, so I've added the audiobook of Swann's Way to my library wishlist.

The Vindication Of The Rights Of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft is on my list, and I have a feeling that's going to be interesting as well.

Usually I think I read horror or fantasy short stories, but I also get the annual collection of short stories - I think it's just Best Short Stories of [year] and then edited by some famous author, and I love almost all of those, too. I'll let you know after I've read them what I think!
Response: Glad you enjoyed the letter! The New Yorker publishes a great short story each month too. I often find new authors there, though they definitely have their favorite authors they publish all the time. And I highly, highly recommend Alice Munro to all short story lovers!!

Comment: I received your zentangle today. So gooooood!!! Also, I wanted to tell you that when my son was 8 and I was pregnant with a third baby, he asked if he could name her and I said sure. But he decided to name her Buckethead, so I decided to name her Amaria instead. But ever since I've seen your username, I've wanted to tell you that. This is beautiful zentangle art, thank you so much!
Response: That's hilarious!! I'm very glad you didn't let her be named Buckethead... does he call her that anyway? Also, so glad you like the Zentangle!

You have strength in description and you switched POV from father to son quite fluidly. :)

Comment: Kara, I loved seeing how you interpreted the swap and the zentangles. I agree that zentangling is very much a meditative process - or that it can be. I love reading about your days and thank you for sharing these times with me. I hope you had a lovely wedding day (I'm sure you did) and I wish you both much happiness. Thanks for swapping. Es xx

Comment: That's a very silly plot indeed. You did a good job outlining it and researching. I will have to take a page from your book and start outlining like that, laying all the possibilities out and then choosing one that works best. :) Very cool
Response: Thanks! When I do this type of writing (where I'm given random words/plots to start with) I always think about it that way. It's pretty fun to start with a goofy situation and then back your way out of it, trying to figure out how anything like that could have happened.

You mentioned you're a big fan of magical realism - have you ever read anything by Haruki Murakami or Jorge Luis Borges?

Comment: Thank you so much for the great postcard of Maine & the wonderful narrative! Wow! I've read about the Appalachian trail and would like to hike there if I make it the area, but I'm way too out of shape to go the whole way. Congratulations! Sherry
Response: You'd be surprised actually. Plenty of people start out somewhat out of shape. You'd have to do low miles at the beginning, but if you have the will, you can work your way up pretty quickly! Thanks for the rating!
