I remember wondering what the heck I did to get black/purple smudges on the clean pages of my new book--I'm not usually THAT careless! lolDT 5--a mistake they didn't repeat!

Kintsugi! I love Kintsugi because it makes me think of that Leonard Cohen verse: Ring the bells that still can ring/forget your perfect offering/there is a crack in everything/that's how the light gets in.I understand your reverence. I wish I could take care of my books the same way. I've always had to live my life on the fly and I'm lucky even, to possess something to cherish till raggedness. I used to try to keep all things immaculate, but I got upset when I couldn't so I just had to learn to let it go and embrace the character, and that's when I got character.
Historically the Japanese have mended broken pots with gold, believing it not to be trash but accumulated character.
Marsha, what is Steve's most treasured book in his collection? I've often wondered and imagined what his book collection must look like.Those are the ones that bring a smile to Steve when he can see how well-worn they are. He doesn't understand the keeping a book in shrinkwrap thing.
Ive just finishedit, really enjoyed it, different from the other stuff of his ive readAny good? I'm a fan of Masterton. Very underrated if you ask me.

I've also had good luck with King's recommendations, which is nice as it can be difficult for me to find recommendations that resonate with me.That is a great question. I love most of the authors he's mentioned over the years and have read their works because of that. In Revival there's a mention of Clark Ashton Smith. Today I researched him and I plan to read as much of his work as possible. I think I'll like him. What fascinates me is that he was self-taught.

I just checked him out as well.
I'm fascinated for the same reason you are.
Just started my annual read of The Stand....
He's pretty amazing, isn't he?
