Thanks to my friend Panther who owns a share in, I believe, The Other Change Of Hobbit, I have a shelf of books I wouldn't ordinarily read. He let me go through his advance copies when I visited him on his Life Day in April.

Tonight I was looking for something to engage. I checked the shelf and found The Knitting Circle, a book whose opening page had hooked me into snagging the book from Panther's book-pile and taking it home with me.

Been awhile since I got grabbed by the throat by a book and couldn't get it to let me go. And I say that advisedly, since I just finished Stardust by Neil Gaiman. (BTW, if there are any fans inclined to do so, Wikipedia plot summary for Stardust wants editing, reads like it was written by a gifted 14 year old).

The Knitting Circle is wonderful. Highly recommended, and you don't have to be a knitter! Just be someone who understands that everyone has their own stories, their own unhealed scars, their own way of getting thru and past the pain again.

If anybody local wants to borrow this book, ping me here. I'd love to hear what someone else thinks.
