“In a world of watered-down bestsellers and formula novels, Hitching to Nirvana eases back just enough to show the blade which cuts the real open, then bolts forward again, giving us a charged, swerving dance to self-actualization. Hitching to Nirvana is a magnetic forcefield, not just pulling us beautifully into the story, but into our own lives. It's rare when a writer can open the shared world with such a deft, personal touch. Janet Mason is a genius.”

“I’m here for the show” the man said
looking under Frank’s shirt for the door
“I’m no theater” Frank said
a line formed
must he admit them all?
many had umbrellas
a blind woman
waited with
her dog
“it’s gonna be a great show” someone said
“but when’s he gonna let us in?”
Frank’s tears began to fall
someone ripped his doors open
they filled him for an hour”

Thanks for the invitation. Your preference for chocolate reminds me of a highlight of today--my first visit to Chocolat du Monde (in Houston) and my first taste of a dark chocolate truffle laced with violets. Wishing you something as delectable.
Thank you for your friends request. You have an interesting taste in books. I look forward to seeing what else you're reading.
CA, Thanks for your friendship request. I see we have something in common--we were both born in the same neighborhood! Always nice to meet a fellow Milky Wayian.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
