Revisado: 05-03-24

Nice recipe for success

Living on the Magic Mountain

Revisado: 03-14-24

Considering this book was written, almost 100 years ago and tells the life of a young man suffering from a disease which is fairly uncommon today, the narrative should feel unfamiliar.

Instead, within a few minutes, the performance of the narrator is so perfect that we are Becoming an integral part of the story. I felt like a witness walking alongside Hans and his journey.

In addition, the issues which the book discusses using the Jesuit and the anarchist are still relevant today.

A worthwhile journey, fruitful, and engrossing.

Could have a better read

Revisado: 07-04-23

The complexity of some of the sentences is lost due to a lack of emphasis in the right sections of the sentences.

The ugly result

Revisado: 06-30-23

A careful, painstakingly detailed log of our freeway to nowhere. Beautiful. More words are not required to compliment this labour of love.

A book to reread

Revisado: 06-29-22

A call to action articulated with care for the reader. The author speaks from the heart and her writing reflects her truth, simply. She inspires and leaves me a little better.

A delicate use of power

Revisado: 02-11-22

I liked this book overwhelmed me. I am so impressed about how beautifully the painter and the writer combined their strength to open my eyes to so much Beauty. Having been educated in Western art history and having had the privilege of seeing The Monuments have Western Civilization as well as those of the Orient, I feel that I was an ignorant person until I read this book. You paragraph I will read it again with great pleasure.

Extraordinary lucidity

Revisado: 09-26-21

Reading this book is a mist. The reflections of a profound and articulate mind push me to think deeper while the author's courage to speak so honestly humbled me.
The performance matched the the quality of the content.y thanks to both.

Tearing down walls

Revisado: 02-09-21

starting with the title until the last word, this story hurt. There's, no pretend, no makeup between us and her characters. We're getting it like it is – straight in the face.
Without spelling the word, a letter at a time, she weaves around us the ugly sticky web of racism. Teaching us the hard way how we are all watching from our porch.

No compromise - "all in" commitment to Dharma

Revisado: 01-23-21

Lights a fire to raise the alarm - we are sleeping or sitting in attachment. The reader reflects the urgency of waking up in every sentence.

A gift.

Tender and moving

Revisado: 08-27-20

Creating a new form of performance. this is not a book or an audiobook. Instead it is cloosr to radio plays.plays. It is a well-designed short but impactful drama which left me touched and enlightened.
