Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro
What I Know in Myself is my own Evil. THat is the secret of my comfort.
pg. 23 (Dimensions).
This book is a collection of short stories and the ones I have read so far are quite good. Most of them are easy to read and make you think. The stories are about complex people so that makes them interesting and none of them have the traditional "happy happy" style endings or anything like that. They are actually kind of unsettling in some ways. Definently not a book to read if you need a cheer up.

Know thyself - that's the great directive, isn't it? I think most every human is cognizant of a little bit of evil within themselves. It's what makes us human...
But that mused upon (or whatever) - nice teaser! It made me philosophize a bit, which isn't usual. I liked it. *grin*
If you'd like, you can check out mine here.
Now that is an intriguing teaser!
Celia - I am glad the teaser made you philophise :) Yes - we all have some dark thoughts inside us.
Enjoy your book. My TT is here.
A very deep and heavy teaser! My post is here: The Botticelli Secret

I really want to explore more Alice Munro books. This one sounds good.
I liked Alice Munro's The View from Castle Rock. this one looks good too.

Intriguing teaser!

I love the cover.
My `teaser` is up.
So the title is a bit deceptive, but the cover makes up for it. Interesting reading you've been doing.
Interesting teaser! I have never read anything by Alice Munro.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I love those two sentences. What's scary is that this is probably true of most of us, in that we have our own evil,but we don't admit it.
