"I have this weird obsession about buying books and looking at them with a smile, even if I won't read them soon. At least they are mine now." —Anais Nin #bookhaul #book #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookgram #bookporn #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #literature #igreads #goodreads #booksandbeans #met_createchange #We #YevgenyZamyatin #ThingsFallApart #ChinuaAchebe #TheArtofWar #SunTzu #ComingtoSafety #WallaceStegner

It is an easy mistake to think that non-talkers are non-feelers. #wallacestegner #nightphotography #motog825gshot (at Madan Mohan Mandir, Coochbehar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9S1N7vPEv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just finished this very well written, captivating, very American, not uncontroversial Pulitzer Price winning book by Wallace Stegner about the marriage and life of two very different people and their circle of family, friends, colleagues, and others in the years after the Civil War in the American West, intermingled with how their grandson is coping with his own environment while he tries to write their story. And even though that writing takes place 50 years ago (and relates a story 100 years earlier), there’s still much to recognize and contemplate about humans, their characters, convictions, passions, and behavior. #wallacestegner #angleofrepose (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7mBuupvCm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had never heard of Wallace Stegner before, but this short, partly autobiographical novel of his (one of his last works, published in 1987) is really an extraordinary account of the life, love, and friendship of two couples and how their lives and relationship evolved from the late 1930s until the death of one of the main characters in the 1970s. Taking place in two states we just visited ((Wisconsin and Vermont) it is a moving, mature, and wise story with many valuable, insightful observations. Definitely worth reading #wallacestegner #crossingtosafety https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci_dkVTDbtU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

« Comfort, qui est, à dix-neuf ans, une version plus jeune, plus douce, plus jolie, moins belle, de Charity, a déjà baissé le nez pour la prière, mais elle laisse ses yeux errer vers Sid, sur sa gauche, puis vers sa sœur, assise en face. » Wallace Stegner, En lieu sûr, Éditions Gallmeister, collection Totem, traduit de l’américain (Crossing to safety, 1983) par Eric Chédaille, 2017. #wallacestegner #enlieusûr #crossingtosafety #naturewriting #lectureencours #éricchédaille #passionlecture #gallmeister #gallmeistertotem #romanaméricain #lectureaméricaine #plusjoliemoinsbelle

"It is love and friendship, the sanctity and celebration of our relationships, that not only support a good life, but create one. Through friendships, we spark and ignite one another's ambition." 💥#wallacestegner . . . __________ Happiest Anniversary to the kindest couple we know @blogilates + @samlivits! 🍾 #blogilates #enchantedoasis (at Palm Desert, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SKk_wjpJO/?igshid=1xb2i99ikufiu
