    i love how she just jumped into the whole speech w so much energy, she’s either an only child or just had so many points she wanted to hit that she just rambled on. i have the book on my shelf, waiting for the chance i could get into it

    "When I wrote it, it all felt very immediate, and when I read it, it was a historical novel." Wonderfully put. Twenty years is a long time in any context, but in the twenty-first century, twenty years is an eternity, especially when you consider how far technology advances us culturally in a relatively short period of time.

    The comment section seems to be a party of people who are just about to be finished with the book.

    Your physical beauty already makes a great impression on your viewers and listeners to make everything fine for reading you and your books. Keep it all up because your success is almost a guarantee.....

    Sad to see someone just copy the titles of Dostoevksy - there are better ways to honor a person you love.

      I would’ve never read Dostoevsky if it wasn’t for her

      titles are very often repeated, either in homage, as here, or coincidence. its not a big deal

      Homage, as Elizabeth says.
