Louise Penny

“If a man's foes were of his own household, Gamache knew that his friends were too.”
― Louise Penny, A World of Curiosities

Joshua Slocum

“There are no poetry enshrined freighters on the sea now. It is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning.”
― Joshua Slocum, Sailing Alone Around the World

Christopher McDougall

“Loveable as he is, Lawrence is a hyperkinetic freak, and the world is far too full of marvels and joys for him to ever do anything except lunge and swerve toward whatever catches his eye.”
― Christopher McDougall, Running with Sherman

Christopher McDougall

“There’s a lot I will never adopt from my Amish neighbors (long black pants in summer and a cap on education at eighth-grade spring to mind), but Sam opened my eyes to the difference between rules that hold you back and rules that help you grow. That was why he could read thrillers if he felt like it and had no qualms telling me that he’d seen (and kind of enjoyed) the movie Witness . Amos, our closest neighbor over the hill, dropped in one evening while friends were over for dinner. “This is wine?” he asked, never having seen it before. “Can I try?” Before I could reach for the bottle, he’d filled a water glass to the brim. He drank it off like it was lemonade, then set off to walk tipsily home in the dark. “Yeah, I don’t think I’ll be having that again,” Amos told me the next day. “Not enough evenings in life to spoil another one.” The Amish aren’t closed to the world, he’s saying; they’re just a little more goal-oriented about how much of it to let in.”
― Christopher McDougall, Running with Sherman

Joshua Slocum

“The sea was confused and treacherous. In such a time as this the old fisherman prayed, 'Remember Lord, my ship is small and thy sea is so wide.”
― Joshua Slocum, Sailing Alone Around the World

We primarily chat on Dis This group is meant to complement the Book Lovers Club on Discord, the biggest and most diverse book club you'll find online. We primarily chat on Discord about all our favorite books and authors, but as so many of us rely on GoodReads heavily for our TBR list and reviewing what we just finished reading, it felt a good idea to also have a group here that all the book club members could gather in and enjoy. We're also open to anyone else who wants to join a fun group of readers, and you can hang out just here on GoodReads or join the Discord group as well. Everyone who loves books is welcome! ...more

Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog. The Goodreads Libra Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog. The Goodreads Librarians Group is the official group for requesting additions or updates to the catalog, including: * Adding new books or editions * Editing book information (including covers) * Combining and merging book editions * Edits to page counts, quotes or awards * Correcting author profiles for authors not in the Goodreads Author Program If you're a Goodreads member with a new request, click Join Group. Once you're added to the group, you can post your question following this link. Simple requests (e.g. page count updates) typically take around 48 hours depending on the volume of requests, while more complex requests could take up to a couple of weeks (e.g. adding a new book). Authors, if you are a member of the Goodreads Author Program, you can edit information about your own books. Find out how in this guide. Keep in mind that Librarians don't: * Grant or give insights into Librarian applications / Librarian status * Move ISBNs or ASINs between editions * Help with non-catalog Support questions (e.g. How do I reset my password?) For help with these queries or to submit general questions, comments or feature requests, try Goodreads Help or use the Contact Us form. If you're a Librarian and want to process requests, please refer to our Librarian Manual to ensure edits are performed in line with Goodreads policies. ...more
