Truly a life-changer. A biblical look at people pleasing and the fear of man in our lives, I uncovered some mega blind spots in my life. The central message is always timely. We will honor God more when we need people less and love them more.

"Dreaming in Cuban" reads a lot like a book by Marquez or Allende. The novel focuses on the lives of 3 women from a Cuban family, each telling a story from their perspective. 3.5 stars.

Ok, so I am a fan of little houses and unpretentious spaces. This author has GREAT ideas on how to make a small home a masterpiece! (She has several books and I like all of them!)

As opined by reviewers everywhere, this novel is in the style of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. Lots of foreshadowing, potentially supernatural elements, a special house, a secretive boyfriend, a first wife... The story is a solid addition to the genre, if a bit scattered at times. Maybe it's just me, but I tired of the "if only I'd thought to ask..." and "what did I really know about..." and "yes, it was strange that none of his family came to visit..."

Think Poe, but with a sci-fi twist on the morbid and horrifying tales of grim human nature. There are ways Lovecraft sells out a bit as a writer - for example, many of his characters are overcome by madness or selective memory loss when it comes time to reveal the great mystery of any given story - but much of that may be attributed to the style of the times. Altogther (and I read selectively from this incredibly comprehensive collection), the stories are worth reading, but you should feel free to skip around when stuff seem redundant - it is. Still, an important contribution to the world of horror and sci-fi, for sure.

Finally! After probably 35 years or so, I found it again. The best thing is, I loved it again and probably even more.

This is the second part to the story that began with Caius Crispus in Sailing to Sarantium. In the first novel a large theme had to do with the political shaping of religion, or perhaps how politics handles the truth of religion. The magical half-world plays a large role in the shaping of the characters. I am extremely glad that I read the first book before reading Lord of Emperors. Lord of Emperors, though it touches on the physical representation of Jad (God), has far less to do with ideas of religion and far more to do with political intrigue, and how that intrigue affects those it touches personally and the citizens whose lives are changed in its aftermath, as if all are pieces to be played in a game. "Sarantium was not a place in which one found refuge, even in pursuit of a vision." (pg. 104) The main players, themselves pieces in the game, maneuver allegiances and plots, keeping a watchful eye on each in expectation of a victorious end. Yet the story is masterfully told through the mosaicist, the cook, the charioteer, the dancer, and the physician. (Though, at times, we are privy to the Empress and the Queen.) A few quotes that I enjoyed, and that hint at larger thematic enterprises: "The great events of an age appear, to those living through them, as backdrops only to the vastly more compelling dramas of their own lives, and how could it be otherwise?" "It is true, undeniably, that the central moments of an age occur on the margins of the lives of most people." (269) "The soul must bend to endure." (352)"We must learn to bend or we break." (359) And several more in succession. And, then there is another story, barely introduced, of a merchant in the far south talking with a boy, Tarif, in a conversation that will be immortal and leaving a life because of a dream. " That day, in the early spring of the year, there were two [places that may be properly seen as lying at the heart of an age] on the earth, far apart. One was in the desert of Soriyya, where a man in a hood, which a cloak drawn over his mouth, preserved a silence among the drifting sands, having remained awake all the night before, fasting, and looking up at the stars."(270) A third book? I certainly hope so. I feel unfinished with Maximus, the Holy Patriarch's privy adviser. And, certainly, Pertennius of Eubulus needs to receive his just dues. Getting knocked out wasn't enough to make him see the error of his ways.

For the non-believer/seeker/former Christian/Christian stuck in a rut. This book is accessible to all. It's thought-provoking, convicting and funny all at once.

I am so excited about our trip that even just reading about all the places we will go has me more juiced about this book than most! Lots of great information for the traveler.
