I'm sending out tons of virtual hugs for you and your family. <BR/><BR/>I find it difficult to read during stressful times, some people I know relish reading when things are bad and see it as an escape. I, on the other hand, spend a lot of time listening to music and staring at the wall when things are bad.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there!Amanda Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285981792704101992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995634.post-65032751705453052522008-02-10T22:25:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:25:00.000-08:00Dennis thinks Maeve Binchy would be an excellent c...Dennis thinks Maeve Binchy would be an excellent choice.dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382113112087625147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995634.post-3950001632082636412008-02-10T13:58:00.000-08:002008-02-10T13:58:00.000-08:00I feel so much for you, really I do.

If you can find anything at all to read that brings a little comfort and distraction then that sounds just right. All those authors will happily wait for another day.

I was supposed to be working on my thesis but I couldn't bring myself to read or to write. I ended up throwing all my notes away one night out of frustration.<BR/><BR/>So, please take care. If you can't read, it may be better to just lie back and listen to some music instead.<BR/><BR/>But damn - you just reminded me I need to finish Proust this year.

I've been reading 'Buddhism and Friendship' by Subhuti and am enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>Sarton sounds good too. <BR/><BR/>A great book of short stories is 'Women & Fiction' Vol 1 edited by Cahill.

Best wishes for your dad.<BR/>I am surprised you are still even reading although I guess it is a good comfort isn't it? When my dad was ill all I could read was People magazine and cozy mysteries :)<BR/>Looking forward to those pearls of wisdom from Living Without Regret. I already like the sound of that.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.com
