Comments on: more about my sisters, because they are fascinating http://thisfish.com/more-about-my-sisters-because-they-are-fascinating/ Found the bike. Not changing the title.

And maybe we don't read literature as much anymore but I think this is doing what literature is always purported to do at its best - highlight the human condition. So many people comment with "Yes! That is happening to me too!" It's obvious that this is a touchstone for them (us) to find that we are common - not in the drab way but rather in the universal way; that we are all connected. I saw the winner of the Nobel prize for literature on TV last night and he said much the same thing: literature is for showing that, down at the individual level, we are much more alike than different. Fish highlights our commonality, which resonates as Togetherness. We are Together in this. I wish you many more posts of great success.</p> I’m not trying to be political here (rather cultural and societal) but I think in our individualized culture, we sometimes forget how we are all linked by common things.

I like things here the way they are. Everyone can write about the book they're reading, not everyone can write about you. (Well, they could but not as well.)</p> People assume because you don’t write about something that you simply have no thoughts about it. I like things here the way they are.
