"The best piety is to enjoy--when you can."
Will Ladislaw in Middlemarch, George Eliot #sundaysentence

@evanaustinauthr Yes, and I've taken it very much for granted until now. It is a singular experience.

@MaureenLangloss It's so tragic. I have been reading about the skaters and their families who were coming home from the training program.

Wishing your young skater success!

@goodreads God, Human, Animal, Machine by Meghan O'Gieblyn

[Maureen McGranaghan @MoMcGran]

@ParanormalJunk2 I think it's a tie between God, Human, Animal, Machine by Meghan O'Gieblyn and The End of Drum Time by Hannah Pylväinen. Loved both.

@DzintraSullivan Wistful Oatmeal... hmm.

@MoiraDonegan Happy Birthday, Moira. :)

@JohnRNeeleman Grave and gothic do seem like odd adjectives. That certainly doesn't seem like her personality, though she is enigmatic. The more Duport reveals, the more I want to know.

@joshesphillips @Samantharhill I read this during the pandemic, which was maybe not the best time. Unsettling is an understatement. I can't say I enjoyed it, but I couldn't stop and I do admire it.

@Samantharhill The End of Drum-Time by Hannah Pylväinen

[Maureen McGranaghan @MoMcGran]

"'Awkward to the end,' my father said..." A sad epitaph for Uncle Giles. #anthonypowelltogether

[Maureen McGranaghan @MoMcGran]

@goodreads Yes, but then I often don't want to see the film... I have found I enjoy the film if I see it sometime later, even years later. I enjoy/appreciate each more taken on its own.

[Maureen McGranaghan @MoMcGran]

@JohnRNeeleman And this next part:
"As a symbol of power?
Partly, perhaps. After all, men and women both like power in the opposite sex..."
Indeed.

[Maureen McGranaghan @MoMcGran]

"Pheasant distance" (aiming a centimeter to the left of the birds): "a defiance strategy...Mieczyslaw appeared to take part in the game imposed on him but found a way of escaping it." I keep thinking about this phrase as code for subversion. #Tokarczuk24 #TheEmpusium

@barbarakingsolv Love your books. I especially enjoyed Angus in Demon Copperhead (most recently). I'm a playwright and fiction writer (and sometime poet) with some plays produced, stories published, and a chapbook of poetry. https://t.co/INW337vbI1

"'Do you have any objection to being joined by a widower?' Here he smiled weakly; it was plainly an attempt at a joke." #TheEmpusium

Being a woman is a dangerous job. This story is certainly haunted by dead women... Frau Opitz's suicide is shocking. What a start to this story.

[Maureen McGranaghan @MoMcGran]

"There was something wrong with these mothers; it was as if they did a terribly dangerous job, risking their lives in their boudoirs and bedrooms, tangled in lace, leading a lethal existence among the bedclothes and copper pans...the towels, powders, and...menus..." #TheEmpusium
