  Blogging Woolf — Authority: 103
  Mark Hussey sent out an alert on the Woolf list-serv that the children’s book, Anastasia at This Address (1991), by Lois Lowry, has a character in it named Septimus Smith.

  Attention Training — Authority: 103
  Picture this.  A woman (or man) awakens.  It is a small, actually tiny, mountain town in upstate New York and it has mostly been built up around a mid-sized mountain lake.  The majority of the area is lightly forested and the gun-metal light of December puts a steely sheen on everything.  It has snowed early this ...

  zhiv — Authority: 103
  I’ve been blocked on blogging, and keep trying to break through, and one of the things I’ve been meaning to try is to just sit down and type something up, almost randomly. I like my basic approach, which is to read something, and then write about it in an early morning session sitting in my chair. I love the ...

• Shakespeares daughters

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 986
  This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room. Eighty years after A Room of Ones Own was first published – and 50 years after The Second Sex – the same value system prevails, argues Rachel Cusk ...

  that Young philosopher — Authority: 120
  "I am glad to be home, & feel my real life coming back again--I mean life here with L. Solitary is not quite the right word; ones personality seems to echo out across space, when hes not there to enclose all ones vibrations. This is not very intelligibly written; but the feeling itself is a strange one--as if ...

  The Thought Vox — Authority: 112
  I’ve been an avid reader since I was a child. I have no idea how many books I’ve read. Sometimes certain books stay with us for a long time after we’ve read them. This list is in no way a ranking of the *Value* of these books. It is simply a list of ten books [...]
