I'm so thankful to have found "Beyond." I'm loving your newsletters and the vibrant thoughts you've curated for us. I'm soooo looking forward to Cheryl Strayed's interview. And, thanks, also, for your kind mention of my newsletter. I LOVE all the other newsletters you mentioned, so I feel especially proud to be included in their company. Have a wonderful, restful break!

I head up to a monastery every for a New Year's weekend retreat and I always bring Thomas Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation.

I just finished “Stay True” a quick memoir by Hua Hsu - i highly recommend it one of the best books about friendship I’ve read in a while, and you cruise right through it

I am being partial here but I've recently translated Cheryl Strayed's Dear Sugar into Greek and I must say it is now one of my (very) favourite books. Such compassion and non-judgemental understanding for the human condition is truly rare to find. On another note, I've been reading two Irish books and the experience has been amazing (The All of It, by Jeannette Haien, and The Spinning Heart, by Donal Ryan). Finally I HAVE to mention Writers and Lovers. I just loved the heroine and atmosphere created by Lily King.
