Her voice and humor resonates so deeply and as she said I went to a lecture of hers at a hard time. She is wonderful.

Anne's Facebook posts keep those us happy and enjoying her between her books being published. I love her wit, wisdom, humanity and strong connection with and understanding of the Creator.

You two are spectacular! Your writing, outlooks and philosophies - back to watch again. Also online to order books from Parnassus.

An enriching dialogue. Thank you!

I love you Anne❤️😩

Stations of the Heart - Karin Kavelin Jones 36:24 Tell me a story...43:24

Ms. Lamott is referring to her son, Sam, and her grandson, Jax.

Hard to fully appreciate this w/out knowing what situation they are referring to. Who's the young couple they are talking about?

I remember Annie in Bolinas even before she was pregnant with Sam. Her dad was a drinking buddy. Anne really shyed away from the real die-hard drug scene that was ravaging most of her friends at the time, that little church by the Marin City flea market did the trick. I remember groaning once when I saw here attending church. Sorry, Annie. Hugs from the past.

Great video!

Ha! I LOVE Jeanette Winterson (love her work, love her in talks and interviews) but I didn't finish Written on the Body. Patchett at 45mins: "Don't confuse me for no reason. You're getting precious hours of my life - put them to good use."

That was great! Two smart ladies being themselves. I like that. I think women still don't have as much freedom to be themselves. Society seems a lot more judgmental towards women. We're not supposed to make mistakes, be tired mothers, be angry and so on, we are supposed to be perfect parents all of the time, we need to pretend and play a role. In the meantime nobody is perfect, life is not perfect that's why I like real books, deep books. She should be able to write about parenting what she wanted to write, to infuse realness and vulnerability. I don't like pretentious books, on-the-surface books. On the other hand, she has fans because they like the realness of her books.

Doris Lessing is not English!

My first read ofThe Dutch House seems like the story is meandering on. I love Pratchett’s prose, so I always look forward to reading her books. After my first reading of the Dutch House, I thought, meh. But parts of it lingered with me. So I jotted down those niggling thoughts and reread those passages that I couldn’t let go of. And then I could see the connective parts that carried the story through to the end. I don’t know if what I came away with was what Pratchett intended, but I found meaning for me. That meaning is what I can pass on to another reader who might like this book.

The Dutch House was my first book I read by Patchett. And I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone’s tastes in books and authors is different.
