| A marvelous fever-dream of a novel, Berlin Alexanderplatz is Doblin's homage not only to Berlin, not only to the criminal, but the free-wheeling potentials of the unhinged human mind, and its imaginations, daydreams, and inhabitants. The first fifty ...more | |

| The Count of Monte Cristo is a classic of 19th century literature, and yet it is rarely discussed amongst the great masters of the 1800s, at least in literary circles. I am wondering why that is the case. In a time where we struggle to find the atten ...more | |

“In an ideal world, as connectivity progresses, each human of our world would function the way a cell functions in a human body. We would see each other in the context of our individuality but realise how our individual actions both directly and indirectly affect the greater Earth. It would be as if our Atmans (our individual spirits) could merge into a Brahmin (a cosmic unity)”

Thanks for expressing your interest! I hope you like the book!
Yes I am interested. I just ordered the Kindle version, but it will take me another week or so before I can begin reading your book. It sounds intriguing, and your write-up is very well written, which doesn’t happen very often. Thank you for the notification.Ginney
