Hi Jill. Its Allison. I know we haven't spoken in, well...almost 3 years now. Alan's funeral, right? J said you're doing well and it looks and sounds like you're doing even better. Yes, I do read even if I don't post. I have a book recommendation for you. I can even loan you my copy, but its REALLY good. Its got the freakishness of Geek Love, the cynicism of ...I don't read cynical books, and the imagination of Tolkien. It's called "Wicked" and its the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West from Oz. Very good. I'm not all the way through yet. I'm savoring each page as if it were the last book I'll ever read. You may not love it THAT MUCH, but it is indeed a good read. PS- Where's you're road trip to? Wishing you lots of love and luck, as always, Allison.
Allison, It's SO nice to hear from you! I wish you could have come up for Jenean's wedding. Life is pretty great these days. From the sound of it, you and Jeremy are doing pretty well for yourselves too. I'll definately check that book out...I've always trusted your taste in reading, hell, you influenced a lot of what I've read and loved. A book I think everyone should check out...Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. "TEACHER seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person." It is written to be "an adventure of the mind and spirit." I won't give too much away, but it is basically trying to teach humans how we are destroying the earth, and how we can save it. It is fictional yet extremely thought provoking. I definately felt different after reading it. Anyway, I miss you. I love you always. I may be taking a road trip to Florida within the next few months and I'll definately get ahold of you guys if it all works out. take care. <3
