Jan-Maat's status update
Jan-Maat
is on page 47 of 96 of Romeinse sporen: There is a lot of idealisation of ' the south' and 'southern' modes of life here which really does not appeal to me. As far as I am concerned you can drink wine for breakfast, let alone for lunch, where ever you are in the world, provide you are prepared to accept the consequences 😁

Deea's status update
Deea
is on page 155 of 214 of The Spectator Bird: I was reminded of a remark of WillaCather’s,that you can’t paint sunlight,you can only paint what it does with shadows on a wall.If you examine a life,as Socrates has been so tediously advising us to do[...],do you really examine the life,or do you examine the shadows it casts on other lives?[..]And what if u're the wall?What if you never cast a shadow or rainbow of your own,but have only caught those cast by others?

Tim Null's status update
Tim Null
is 10% done with Minority Rule: There has been a "clash throughout US history over whether America would be an experiment in democracy or oligarchy."

Ben Keisler
is 93% done with Mother Night: "There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where’s evil? It’s that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It’s that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive."

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,

Held his heart in his hands,

Hi Teresa -- Thanks for being my Goodreads friend ! I recently wrote reviews of books by Krishnamurti, Virginia Woolf, Stephen Hawking, Erich Fromm and Karl Marx. I'm very keen on getting feedback of some kind on them. Any comments you can make on these other other reviews of mine will be much appreciated ! Yours truly, Andrew B. Noselli p.s. Is this the best way to write to you as a GR friend ?
I like your new profile photo also, though I was thrown off stride for a moment when I first saw it. You look very serious - professorial? querying?
