Appreciation of life itself, becoming suddenly aware of the miracle of being alive, on this planet, can turn what we call ordinary life into a miracle. We come awake to such a realization when we recognize our connection to a spiritual dimension.

Dan Wakefield
Wow, thanks for all the great recommendations! Of the people you mentioned I only have Maldoror, Nadja from Breton, and Death to the Pigs. All the rest are new to me. Off to check them out!
Hey, nice to meetcha. Looking forward to checking out your collection. Any Dada/Surrealist texts you'd recommend, offhand? I've been slowly collecting some books in this genre for the last two years, can't remember if I've added them to my LT list or not, and always anxious to find more.
Hey there MayorWhiteBelly! As one of my LT buddies, I thought you would want to know that my book MONSTER RALLY has been published! My LT profile is now an LT Author profile, and my book is in the system.

MONSTER RALLY is now available at Amazon.com, as well as local bookstores.

If you would be kind enough to give me a small hand in promoting myself, I would be ever so grateful. Just point your friends in my direction, maybe suggest that they check out my author site or the book on Amazon, both of which they can reach through my LT profile.

Thanks for your help!
Glad to also make your LibraryThing acquaintance. I wish I could read half as much as you!
Hello,
Many of the books you've read this past year I've read or have been meaning to read as well. You might like Leslie Whitten's Moon of the Wolf, if you haven't read that already.
I noticed you mention Julien Gracq as a favorite. I've read
The Castle of Argol and The Opposing Shore. Just ordered 3 more
I haven't read. Should be interesting. Very strange writer.
Hi
You share more favourite authors with me than anyone else on Library Thing - 12 all up. That's pretty good! And I haven't even listed my surrealism yet!
Cheers
Leigh Blackmore
