    I did visit the house in Amsterdam they lived in... wow! Amazingly tiny inside up there behind the bookcase.

    Is this about Helen Keller or Anne Frank? I don't think Keller ever lived in Ansterdam.

    I am currently reading Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood, after watching a Canadian miniseries on Netflix based on the book. It is an incredible story, I don't think I will get all I need to out of it through one read-through alone.

    It's good to read a book with deep meanings and find it necessary to go and read it again... and perhaps again!

    If I may get philosophical, it is about ordinary people, not mentally ill, having hallucinations due to blindness, deafness, fatigue, brain damage, sensory deprivation and such. Audio, visual, odors, etc.
    From what I gather so far the brain, or mind, can generate it's own reality when it is deprived of input.
    Which makes me wonder if the entire world as we experience it is merely collective hallucination.

    Many have postulated that theory, including Heinlein as I recall.

    They may be onto something...

    Yes! Had to write a paper on it during my undergrad studies…reviewing over it again along with other books.

    i am currently reading ciaphas cain: for the emperor
    its such a good book witty, dark very 40k. i love it but it has one little thing that irks me. the author physical descriptions of women can feel kind of shallow and creepy. so many good books ruined by this!
