I'm finishing up the month with "True Evil" by Greg Iles: http://www.amazon.com/True-Evil-Greg-Iles/dp/1469233924 This is not a James Patterson type story that only touches the surface, but an detailed account of evil doings in Natchez, Miss. The scenes take you to the Natchez Trace Trail, swamplands and Mississippi backwater country as high biotech techniques are being used to kill off divorce contestants. The book is loaded with medical research for those who like to learn more about the medicine and drugs involved. Gripping action!
For my friends on Bookoholics, please bear with me. On Monday, August 25 my wife Eddie, the love of my life, suddenly passed away. It changes the focus of your life entirely. But being a reader and book lover, it becomes possible, even if temporarily, to remove oneself from the here and now and enter another world. Very specifically, I found myself delving again into the poetry of Dylan Thomas (especially And Death Shall have no Dominion), Robert Frost (many of them) and even Act V, Scene III of King Lear, because I can certainly understand the “Howl, howl, howl howl” that Lear emits at Cordelia's death.
Dear Loruach, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Our words never seem to be adequate at such a time, so I am glad you have taken solace from the words of great literature. Please be gentle with yourself as you deal with the loss of Eddie.
All my sympathies on your loss. I hope you find some solace in the books that have been your companion through life.
Loruach, I am sorry for your terrible loss.
Like you say visiting poignant writing and poetry my be the only thing to do when sanity is no help.
Take heart
Loruach, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that your memories will bring you comfort and peace. In the meantime, I hope your reading gives you that other world when you need it.
So sorry for your loss, Hope you can find some peace.
Thank you so very much for your kind words.
