What others say and I like.
Mostly an archive of internet articles I want in one place, with some of my writing and rumination sprinkled here and there.

Review: The Lottery
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jackson starts by telling a story that appears so slow, that the reader relaxes, and maybe brings a cup of hot chocolate to enjoy with a nice warm read. It's a village setting, warm season, total population 300, everybody knows everybody, and all are anticipating, enjoying, waiting to get back to their lives.
It's a good peak into not only village life, but human nature. The themes in this story have been critically analyzed, and those analyses have been analyzed too. There's so much in this little story that it can fill you up and leave you thinking about it for days. It's one of those books that stay with you, for a long time. Maybe, forever.
