Gabriel Garcia Marquez

"It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams."

Your task this month  (is to read a book) and to match our editors and contributors with the book we each chose as one of the most important books in our lives. We also honor Gabriel Garcia Marquez (He passed away at 87 years old  April 17, 2014) whose writings have had a profound effect on Michelyn and Nancy.  100 Years of Solitude was their first choice but because they both chose this book it did not make the list below.

Elise Pearlstine, Contributor                          Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (1963)

David Falsberg, Contributor                          Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol (1842)

Nancy Knows,  Editor                                   Tender is The Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1934)

Valerie Lee Vitale, Editor                                The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles (1949)

John Reasinger, Sr Editor                             The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff (1982)

Tama Blough, Managing Editor                     Travels by Michael Crichton (1988)

Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief                   Neuromancer by William Gibson (1984)
