Books can feel like home, whatever that may be. Home can be defined as a state of mind rather than an arbitrary geographic location. Books were created to make one feel less alone in the world.

I converse with Wallace, Vonnegut, Bukowski, Thompson all the time!

Did you read Carl Hiaasen ever? Maybe not aa lofty as your stated authors but certainly witty and worth a read.

No I haven’t but I will now! Thank you!

I know so many people who remind me of his characters. He is from Florida, was a journalist, and knows whereof he speaks, but keeps it light and funny, not preachy.

Emerson is my closest friend and Muir too.

Do you have any recommendations for me?

If you enjoy laughing and irreverence, Sick Puppy maybe. One of my flaws is that I read (or once read) voraciously, and then I forget the story and characters and all books are new to me when I pick them up again. I am dyslexic and ok with it, but it’s hard to write a book report!
