"Hope you're having a great day and thank you for your time here. And I. I hope this post edifies you. The title of this post is Do I know a poet or author whose work really comes alive when it's read aloud? Well, I would suggest that the Bible comes alive when it's read aloud. That's the book I reference the most. Why is that? Well, the Bible is such an amazing book and you literally can stud...

"Because already we are fossils, my love, waiting for the right eye. Because my wrists shoot lightning cut my breath. Because I cannot turn a doorknob, cannot enter or leave. Because, my love, you will die first or I will die first. Peggy Shoemaker."

"It's a very, very nature based book and also based in a time and a place that deserves really good reading because there's a lot of southern accents from, I guess there was Kentucky, there was a couple of others, and she just nailed it. And it just brought everything so alive."

"And there's so many levels to this book that I think the author really enjoyed writing from, because she wants you to be in a little bit of shock and a little bit of taboo areas, but she wants you also to consider. You know, when you engage with people, you get only one level first. And then when you get to know them, it's really that experience of un. Packing the complexity of every human ...

"I do love tucking myself away with a book in my hand and reading it for sure. And they're just different. I wanted to ask if you have thoughts about when you listen to a book versus when you read a book, how that feels for you. And I'm posting this in Bedside Table because this is my swell cast for community communities to talk about books. So I'm excited to do it here and if you have any t...

"And every time she discovers something, it goes into the history of where that book is and where it ex in the periods, in what period of Jewish history and well, of history and where it finds itself according to what is happening to the Jewish people at that point. It's just such a beautiful, magnificently written thing and I truly, honestly think that everybody should read it."

"Oh, this is a very easy one. I strongly believe that everybody should read the Godfather. I know for a fact that most people have only watched the movie, but frankly, the book, like all books, are much better than movies. The book is an absolutely fantastic book. Highly recommend that we should all read this together because I think we're going to have a lot of perspectives. So Godfather is m...

"So I think that Jen offers just this sense of messiness and unpredictability and big feelings attached to these identities of sexuality. I think it's a really, really profound book because of this. It's fun. It's also so unpredictable because you don't know what initially, you don't know what the intention is. You're kind of like going, ooh, this is so naughty that Greta's doing this. And s...

"It's at the crosshairs of, you know, deep psychology, but also just societal, you know, norms like, do people feel ashamed to talk about things that are uncomfortable for them? And that's half the hurdle in these rooms. But the women tend to be way more verbose than the men. I think, in general, this author definitely opens up a world that a lot of us have never been in."

"I would reach for either the book that I'm like binge reading and then that's the reason that I can't fall asleep or I'd reach for a book of short stories or poems of some sort because I feel like poems are really fun to read when it's like really late and like I feel like I don't really read poems that often. So like I would read them at 2am though."

"Hey, y'all, it's Sierra again. Wanted to tell y'all about my go to book to regain sanity. I sadly have lost my sanity more than a few times. And the best place I have found to go to regain that is definitely the Bible. In John 14:27, it says, Peace, I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afr...

"Because I want to say that everybody has their version of this at some point in their life when they have to take stock, take inventory and say, am I going to change what I'm doing? Am I going to just do a 180 and go the different direction that I normally wouldn't take because I was in a rut? And it's beautiful to think about how Elizabeth shared that. But the cliche is bigger than the boo...

"Here's one on uniqueness. Don't worry if one person is not showing the same love that someone else has shown you. No two loves are the same. On commitment to prepare yourself for marriage. You must think, I am going to bury this person. On jealousy. No, there's not. Let me get the new topic on. Why is it lonely on top? Somebody says some people, they prefer when you fail. It explains why it...
