| This is an astounding book. As an ordained Buddhist I am often reading books about the mind, spiritual practice, Zen stories so I was drawn to the concept but wow, I did not expect to love this book as much as I do. Early on the author distinguishes ...more | |

"Absolutely charming. The relationship between Dexter and Dougal is chaotic in the best way. Their dynamic brought back memories of me and my siblings constantly scheming (and failing). Also loved how science and wonder were blended together. Gobbledy"

“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.”

“Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden, I don't know; but they have scarcely seen their garden before they see the flaming sword. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both. People who remember court madness through pain, the pain of the perpetually recurring death of their innocence; people who forget court another kind of madness, the madness of the denial of pain and the hatred of innocence; and the world is mostly divided between madmen who remember and madmen who forget. Heroes are rare.”

“I didn't fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway. And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you”

The Joan Silber novel. It is six stories in one. I just love that book. I have my original hardback copy I purchased years after it came out. I can see it from here on the shelf. I just love that book. It stayed with me the same way The English Patient does.
I don't typically accept author friendvites if I don't know them (because too many just want to use it as a marketing ploy) but I love your answer to the "Marry me?" question. :) Also, it turns out there are at least 3 books titled "Size of the World" and now I'm wondering which one you meant!ETA: never mind, I found it on your GR bookshelves!
Hi Lis, thanks for the friendvite. Nice to meet you.
