@clariss17584362 Hi Clarissa. Thanks so much for your kind comment. I tried my best to do justice to the Titanic's passengers, and to Captain Lord, so I'm pleased you enjoyed the book and found it moving. Merry Christmas to you!

Seth Abramson's tweetery on the Trump fiasco has been twittertastic and I can't wait to read his book. Exciting!

Congratulations to @SAPinker on British publication day of Enlightenment Now. Steven Pinker’s mind bristles with pure, crystalline intelligence, deep knowledge and human sympathy. And he writes as he thinks, with a sinewy mot-justery of language which I find irreslstible.

@Dakota_Dawson19 Thanks Dakota for your kind comments! I'm so glad you enjoyed TMW.

It’s JFK day. When I visited the Kennedy Center in Washington DC I saw this: ‘I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty…' There's always hope, I suppose.
