Reading from the person‘s own perspective post stroke with locked in syndrome. Heartbreaking.
Page 1. I probably won‘t be able to read through this at work. I‘m a sucker for beautifully written words.
Heartbreaking to know this is truly how it is for some kids
Very highly recommend this book. Heartbreaking. Interesting to hear it from Alice‘s perspective.
1. Pretty much anywhere.
2. Random piece of paper. I like to write down anything that really sticks out to me from the book. I save those pieces.
3. I like to have a good stopping point.
4. Nope
5. I like to listen to film scores while I read. Absolutely no words or I get distracted
6. Just one
7. Everywhere
8. Silently
9. Yes! Sometimes I just HAVE to know what‘s going to happen so I peek, but then I go back and get the details.
10. Heck no!
Classes for me and my kids were cancelled today so I‘m thinking sitting between 2 sleepy kitties (and their favorite green dinosaur) with a new book is a good way to spend an afternoon.
I thought about this last night as I read about a 14 year old boy who died of cancer yesterday. He had suffered tremendously. I watch him deteriorate on Facebook through his mother‘s posts. I wonder how she will go on now with her baby being gone? Did she really realize this was coming or did they just fight one thing at a time? One complication remedied and another in its place. Was the big picture lost in all the little things? Myopia.
Starting The Bright Hour this afternoon. I just opened the book and immediately love the pages. The actual pages. I‘m not big on reading on a kindle or phone or any other way, I like to hold the book in my hands and turn each page. And I LOVE when the pages have a little texture on the edges!
pickPage 8 was when I knew I would love this book. I love that it‘s written from death‘s perspective. I found myself in tears as death talked about his job and how it was hard for him too. I love in the middle of the book how The Standover Man is something beautiful written over the pages of a book by an evil man.
