Joy Jolt For Readers, Writers, and Thinkers

Literature Lust Love Letter #9

In our neck of the woods, the trees have mostly lost their leaves. I appreciate that the woods goes out in a blaze of glory, but the barren limbs and gray skies leaving me feeling a little down, thinking of Ishmael in Moby Dick, who grows grim about the mouth and feels the “damp, drizzly November” in his soul.

Isn’t it wonderful that words can lift us above the weather, the worries, and the problems of the world? Grab your books and your blogs and burrow in for the upcoming months.

Thank you for reading. I hope that some of these words bring you pleasure.
