Quote of the Day----Goodreads

I read so I can live more than one life in more than one place.
Anne Tyler
October 25, 1941: Happy 72nd birthday, Anne Tyler! The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist grew up in a Quaker community. She is often cited by fellow novelists as a favorite, with admirers as different as Eudora Welty and Nick Hornby.

We recently watched this documentary.  I remember going to the Wall, once in the dead of a hot July night, once again several years later on a hot August day, the quiet "peace" of this memorial was so overwhelming.  When I found the two names of those I looked for, it was such a blinding pain, yet a relief to have been able to see that they were remembered.
Thank you Maya for the beauty of the Wall.

Beyond the Wall, this documentary shows many of her other works.  It was very interesting to watch her evolve.

Hope you will consider this one.
