Years after reading this book, I found myself looking around my apartment in awe that I could inhabit such space all alone. This book made me feel blessed -- I need to read it again.

A friend brought this book to my attention in a bookstore. He was anxious to know whether I would be buying it. I didn't. He ended up buying it for me sometime later. I'm glad he did.

A book to make book-lovers cringe. Definitely a place where being able to "eat a book" would be helpful. BECOME THE BOOK.

Man, I've GOT to get myself a Jeep and get out there! There is a lot of adventure to be had.

A story of Northern Ireland -- a story of tolerance.

What can I say?

You know how you remember where you were when you read certain books? I read this one on the beaches of Lake Huron at The Pinery in Canada.

I read this the next year -- same place.

Inspirational read for writers, creators -- you know, artistic types.

Robert Frost has influenced me like no other poet -- and while reading this book, I learned that he was a lot different than I had imagined: anxious, insecure, and not at all comfortable with himself.

Each chapter is like a painting.

An important book.

Another case where the book and film are equally good. Scary! Sadly (and, yet, not so sadly), this book will make you think twice before helping out a stranger when you are alone.
