- Tana French, In the Woods -

“The magic of each day lives in the unknown. It's waking up as one person, and accepting that when night falls, we may be someone else entirely. So, when you ask what my story is, forgive me----I'm not quite sure yet.”
― J. Raymond

Got this on Goodreads, a growing favorite interactive experience. I've read all of them, but you gotta love an engine that gets you from a valentine to LISP and other programming languages to Vonnegut, McCarthy, and Camus.
From Goodreads - There was a man. He had a knife. He attacked us down by the river.
It was just a harmless little lie.
Anna, Emma and Mariah concoct a story about why they're late getting home one night—a story that will replace their parents' anger with
concern. They just have to stand by it. No matter what. Suddenly the police are involved, and the town demands that someone be punished. And then there is the man who is arrested and accused of a crime that never happened.

My Review - 3 Girls who are best friends tell one hell of a whopper lie that spirals out of control all because the truth would have gotten them grounded till they were old & grey. None of the girls figured it would get out of control like it did. Thant one lie turned into several that put an innocent man behind bars. When it's all said and done the girls will figure out much about themselves that they did not know before causing them to learn things about themselves that they would not otherwise learn.
By Graeme Blundell and Margot Hilton.
A great read about his early life with my cousin Kelly in Lucretia Ave Longuevile Sydney in the early fifties.
I heard this story from Kelly on this last trip while noticing a Whitely print he had.
Found the book on the shelf of Mal's in the room we stayed with Mal and Julie in Brisbane!
Love to get it for our shelves... and add to Goodreads..

“Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.”

- I was browsing quotes tagged 'care' and got a bit startled by this one. There's something deep about being a too flexible worker in this thought. You bend for ever to keep your job. When you loose your job anyway due to a merger, a significant change in the market position of your employer etc... you notice that everything you can - what you considered to be your core skills - was valid only in the old silo that does not exist any more.
A question I currently find to be one of the most interesting is how to motivate people still living in the satisfactory old silo to dare to familiarize with the world expanding outside - the next world with thousands of next opportunities. What would be an understandable signal of care?
