Great short takes on those topics and many more

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

Kathy Shaidle's essays are full of surprises, as well as wit and intelligence. Who but she could find spiritual brothers in famed B-movie director Ed Wood and Catholic philosopher Thomas Merton? She frames the collection around her sudden illness and her spiritual journey as a devoted, if questioning, Catholic.

Great short takes on those topics and many more.

God rides a Yamaha and is a winner

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2000

Cool book, hard to put down once you get started. I found it to be thought provoking and amusing. Kathy's writing was great and you felt that you were right there with her at times. I won't give away the source of the source of the tile, which is revealed near the end of the book, but I found it to be very appropriate. Two thumbs up, especially from a fellow Yamaha rider.

Bite sized mind treats

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 20, 2017

It was the Yamaha reference that hooked me and it turns out Kathy`s boyfriend`s motorcycle doesn't feature until 98% of the way through the book. Instead we learn the jumbled ramblings of her mind, about her illness, her career in journalism, her Catholicism , her poetry and more. In fact, nothing which would have ordinarily commended it to me, so the Yamaha thing turned out to be lucky because without it, I would have missed reading this funny, fascinating, clever, heart-warming little book with its brief, quirky chapters. She writes so well it's a lesson, but it's her attitude to life, and hers is a painful one at times, which is both humbling and inspiring. Treat yourself, read this book.

Poignant, beautiful and funny. A nice short read about someone else's journey through chronic pain and disease.
