| I appreciate this book about one important aspect of writing difficult and complicated family stories: that of permission. As memoirists, we don't need permission to write family stories but this can cause hard feelings. This book tells a writer how ...more | |

Kuleana: A Story of Family, Land, and Legacy in Old Hawai'i
by Sara Kehaulani Goo (Goodreads Author) |

| I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been to Hawai'i. It is important to understand the native Hawai'ian population when we as haole (non-natives) go there. When we tourists stay at the fancy resorts, do we ever think whose land has been ta ...more | |

| Prior to my trip to Ireland I wanted to read another book about The Troubles, and this one didn’t disappoint. There’s a lot of overlap with Say Nothing, but this one is more focused on one man who became a spy for the British. I learned a lot more ab ...more | |

| Most of us fall into the trap of the “allure of elsewhere.” Wherever we are, there must be someplace better. Speaking for myself, I envision myself in different places when life around me gets stressful, tedious, or just plain not fun. It’s easy to f ...more | |

| I made a lot of notes in this book, so that should tell you something. I was unaware of Casey Johnston before I read this book -- I'm sure I'm in the minority. I didn't realize what a big name she is for women who are looking to become strong, not th ...more | |

| Classic Alison Bechdel! I could not put this book down. I'm a binge-reader of Alison's books. I was forced to put it down because I had a couple of other books I needed to finish first. But I read the last half in one setting. I loved her satirical t ...more | |

| This book is fine for what it is -- your standard music autobiography. I enjoyed learning about Lee's early years. He includes a lot of family history, which is traumatic. In the middle you have the requisite goofy band stories. Then the tragedies su ...more | |

| Wow, what a great book. I learned so much about the Troubles and the main characters. This is a book full of drama, intrigue, twists and turns. Just when I thought things couldn't get any crazier, they did. Agents, double agents, triple agents. Disap ...more | |

“Stories weren't just make believe, all Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose. I saw a circle: first life, then death. Spring, summer, fall, winter. Blue sky and storms and quilts of cold clouds occupy the same space but at different times. Memories and stories help you rebuild. Things most precious to you may be gone, lost to the wicked wind, but you remember what had been, and you move on.”

“Maybe you’ve made something mediocre—there’s plenty of that in any artist’s cabinets—but something mediocre is better than nothing, and often the near-misses, as I call them, are the beckoning hands that bring you to perfection just around the blind corner.”
