"A wonderful collection of evocative and penetrating insights from perhaps the greatest spiritual master of our times. The quotations first impact us with their reasoning and logic and then in mysterious zen-like fashion touch and move us..." -- Rajiv Mehrotra, Trustee & Secretary, Foundation For Universal Responsibility of His Holiness the Dalai Lama"The question and answer format of this beautifully complied, small  volume draws us right into a dialogue with the Dalai Lama on how to live  meaningfully and grow spiritually from the most mundane experiences of  everyday life. In an early response, the Dalai Lama states, "My religion  is very simple. My religion is kindness." His responses to the most  basic questions on the art of living astound me with their depth and  clarity, but most of all their wonderful accessibility. The Dalai Lama  often describes himself as a simple monk. Here the editors have  distilled some of his best wisdom on how to become, quite simply, fully  human. The book would make a perfect gift for the experienced seeker and non-seeker alike."-- Olivia Stokes Dreier, Executive Director, Karuna Center for Peacebuilding

"Like Tracy Chevalier in Girl with the Pearl Earring, Gregson excels at developing strong, complex female voices; a swift plot; and a story that will hold readers from beginning to end."&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;Unforgettable.&rdquo;&mdash;Historical Novels Review&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a testament to Gregson&rsquo;s skill that she lures readers on board and makes us believe&mdash;even cheer on&mdash;the grisly twists. She might get away with it because she&rsquo;s so careful with her pacing and character development. She doesn&rsquo;t race straight to the guts; she instead gives us enough of village life to hook us, make us believe, make us care about Sari&rsquo;s strangeness, and the village&rsquo;s general sicknesses and plucky misery, before any angels are made. Furthermore, Gregson possesses an enviable talent for delivering a full character in just a few lines&hellip;. her prose hangs together well overall and demonstrates an elegant ability to shift perspective, an acuity with handling the passage of time, and a touch for simple, transformative moments of beauty.&rdquo; &mdash;Fiction Writer's Review&ldquo;Gregson has created in Sari so curious a character that the novel, based on a true story, springs vividly alive.&rdquo; Grade: B+ &mdash;Clevland Plain Dealer"Basing her novel on a true story, Gregson draws the reader into Sari&rsquo;s conflicted world&hellip;.

"[A] little gem of a novel&hellip;a masterwork of Hollywood fiction."&#160;&mdash;&#160;Salon"A hysterically funny coming&mdash;of&mdash;age story set in Hollywood in the &lsquo;40s&hellip;a kind of&#160;Catcher in the Rye&#160;for the&#160;Cheap Trick&#160;generation." &mdash;&#160;GQ"How is it that this minor comic masterpiece could ever have gone out of print? Darcy O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s 1977 novel&hellip;takes us into an alien culture, Hollywood in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and evokes that kitschy world with spectacularly deadpan humor."&#160;&mdash; Michael Dirda,&#160;The Atlantic Monthly"A hilarious addition to the fabulous Hollywood novel, this time laconic, understated, deadpan, ruthlessly cutting from scene to scene and character to character, and both witty and moving. I enjoyed it enormously, and recommend it unreservedly as a funny, serious, literate, and intelligent book."&#160;&mdash;&#160;The Guardian"It is the real thing&hellip;.It&rsquo;s bound to go like a greyhound, fast and fine."&#160;&mdash; Seamus Heaney"This novel&rsquo;s teen&mdash;age hero, a kind of West Coast Holden Caulfield, tells of his surreal coming of age in Hollywood as the son of a former cowboy star and a faded actress. When their marriage breaks up, he bounces around town trying to find his bearings, with results both farcical and serious."&#160;&mdash;&#160;Press-Telegram"O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s storytelling voice is at once eminently sensible and attuned to absurdity; he sees what&rsquo;s amusing in his world without rendering it as caricature&hellip;.A Way of Life, Like Any Other&#160;takes the same sane, amused attitude to the hyperbolic reality that is Hollywood. Like an infinitely slyer Margaret Mead, O&rsquo;Brien shows us the culture he grew up in, and living up to his title, helps us understand how this way of life&#160;is&#160;like any other &mdash; sort of, anyway."&#160;&mdash; John Powers,&#160;LA&#160;Weekly, Best&#160;L.A.&#160;Novel"Spawned by a pair of movie stars from Hollywood&rsquo;s golden age, the unnamed boy narrator of this indirect and vinegary little book wonders:&#160;Was there ever so pampered an ass as mine?"&#160;&mdash;&#160;Kirkus Reviews

"No one seems to know why the old dragon swallowed the knight (&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not polite!&rdquo;) In addition, the bright red beast proceeds to swallow a steed, a squire, a cook, a lady, a castle, and finally, a moat. At this point the creature decides to burp out everything (except the knight), and what preschooler won&rsquo;t love that! The author has used a broad range of words&mdash;savory, shady, fattens, tassel, guzzled, bloat, quote, perchance, amass, and billow. These will add depth to the young listener&rsquo;s vocabulary. Mantle&rsquo;s illustrations are full of primary colors and are quite expressive as the dragon gobbles each entity he encounters. Life in the Middle Ages is hinted at with the additional drawings surrounding each dragon tidbit. This will be a great addition to the kindergarten/first grade curriculum on comparing and contrasting similar stories. VERDICT A fine purchase for most collections."&ndash;Elaine Lesh Morgan, formerly at Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR; School Library Journal"In days of yore, before a certain fly's ultimately fatal encounter with an Old Lady, there was an old dragon who felt rather peckish. "There was an old dragon who swallowed a knight. / I don't know why he swallowed the knight // It's not polite!" He follows the knight with the knight's steed ("that galloped around at a terrible speed"). Then a squire, a cook, a lady, a castle, and finally a moat are each swallowed in turn. But&hellip;"With all of that water, he started to bloat. / And that's when the dragon roared, and I quote: / &lsquo;Okay, enough! I've had enough&mdash; / More than enough of this swallowing stuff!' " So realizing that eating all those things might have been "a tad impolite," the old dragon burps them all out in reverse except the knight (which is "ahhh&hellip;just right"). Klostermann's debut is a rollicking and warped Medieval take on the well-worn cumulative rhyme. Prolific British animator and illustrator Mantle's expressive and bright cartoon illustrations of the red, horned dragon (and the contents of his stomach) are a perfect match. The antics within the dragon's stomach&mdash;every image of the steed is accompanied by a little "clippity, clippity, clippity, clop" in teeny type&mdash;and his copious burping will leave 'em laughing. No matter how many swallowed-fly titles you own, this one belongs on your shelf too." &mdash; Publishers Weekly 4/9/15
