The Regrets is an interesting, yet strange story about love, life, death, desire, certainty, and uncertainty. I thought it was going to be a straight-up love story between a ghost and a human, because I'd only skimmed the jacket synopsis, but it ended up being more complicated than that. It was a quick read. I'm not sure I'd nominate it for my book club to read, but it was an oddly interesting story, in its own right.

"Once again, we see sex and death wed like chocolate and peanut butter. Jane Fonda looks like the angel of bitter, angry suicide girls before such girls were ever born. Bruce Dern plays the psycho hillbilly we loved him playing in ‘The Big Valley’ on television. Gig Young claws his way to the bottom of the bottom-feeders, winning the Oscar just before his own real-life suicide. Here’s my favorite “date movie” of all time."

"Now, my favorite films as a more mature person, when I was learning about what the director is and does, probably a lot of them were Howard Hawks movies, like Only Angels Have Wings and Rio Bravo. In Hawks’ world, Only Angels Have Wings and Rio Bravo are his visions of adventure stories with male groups, and men and women’s relationships, and life and death and danger. He’s developed that idea throughout his career. Those are just his beliefs."

"The breathtaking beauty of Alameddine’s prose alone makes this compulsive reading. Its true genius, however, lies in the sacrosanct ideas that the narrator—a translator of books that will never be read—lays bare with humorous irreverence, wry insouciance, or intellectual outrage. She is fearless in looking at aging and death, the morality of war and survival, and the true meaning of a meaningful life. She also gives advice on not dying your hair blue in bad light."

Inspiration can come from practically anywhere. Maggie O’Farrell’s latest book is a memoir where she describes the 17 near-death experiences she had throughout her life. While that sounds like it could be scary or even distasteful, I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. Find out what you’ll get if you read this book in my latest review on my blog now.
