G'day. I'm Sue, a writer and a reader from Australia. I have a fervent belief in multidimensional versions of me in parallel universes who spend all of their days reading and writing. I blog in long, web-unfriendly sentences at http://discombobula.blogspot.com.

My Year of Meats

My Year of Meats - Ruth Ozeki It's funny how expectations get in the way of a read. This was recommended to me and I came to it with preconceived ideas that weren't actually there in the story. I liked this book. The only thing that stopped me from really liking it was that it felt plotted and a little contrived. And yet in the interview with the author at the end of the book she revealed that the plot didn't come till she was well into writing. So there you go.

The Book Thief

The Book Thief - Markus Zusak The only thing keeping this from five stars was its length. But wow, beautiful and tragic read.

Unspoken Sermons: Series I, II, III (Greek: Epea Aptera)

Unspoken Sermons: Series I, II, III - George MacDonald

From my perspective, this is the only way that Christianity makes any sense whatsoever :)

 

A beautiful man, a beautiful vision
