Sunday Sentence: Ferdinand, the Man with the Kind Heart by Irmgard Keun
Simply put, the best sentence(s) I’ve read this past week, presented out of context and without commentary.
Children are the bonny little blossoms in the moldering garden of life.
Ferdinand, the Man with the Kind Heart by Irmgard Keun

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Vol. 2 (My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, #2)
by Emil Ferris (Goodreads Author) |

As a big fan of Emil Ferris' debut, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters (Book One), I had high expectations for this long-awaited sequel. I should have lowered my bar of expectations. I was disappointed in Book Two in the way that one is disappointed by havi ...more |

| This is a full-bodied, deeply-researched, thrillingly-told narrative history of the nation's land (and air and water). Douglas Brinkley does a remarkable job wrapping his historian's arms around the big picture while also stopping every now and then ...more | |

I had high hopes for this multi-POV thriller about the search for a missing teenager at a summer camp and the family dynamics that caused it. The short chapters and shifting timeline seemed right up my alley. Sorry, wrong alley. In fact, the very fact ...more |

| Though less a history of Helena itself than it is a history of the Broadwater Hotel and Natatorium, this entry in the Images of America series is, as always, a fascinating look into the past in which we see what once was at places we're now so famili ...more | |

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

“These were the idiots shat out by West Point, turds in starched uniforms and glistening high-and-tight haircuts, shiny-foreheaded future corporate executives who used words like envisionment instead of vision.”

“Life for him was a constant balancing act between disrespect and career preservation.”

“It was Miss Murdstone who was arrived, and a gloomy-looking lady she was; dark, like her brother, whom she greatly resembled in face and voice; and with very heavy eyebrows, nearly meeting over her large nose, as if, being disabled by the wrongs of her sex from wearing whiskers, she had carried them to that account. She brought with her two uncompromising hard black boxes, with her initials on the lids in hard brass nails. When she paid the coachman she took her money out of a hard steel purse, and she kept the purse in a very jail of a bag which hung upon her arm by a heavy chain, and shut up like a bite. I had never, at that time, seen such a metallic lady altogether as Miss Murdstone was.”
