Robert Oliver, a renowned painter, has brutally attacked a canvas at the National Gallery of Art. What would compel an artist to destroy something he values beyond all else? From his hospital room, Oliver maintains a stubborn silence, only saying, "I did it for her." But who is she? Psychiatrist Andrew Marlow prides himself on his ability to make even a stone talk, but he gets nowhere with Oliver. Driven by professional curiosity, Marlowe embarks on an unconventional pursuit of the answers his patient won't provide, and on a journey into the lives of the women Robert Oliver left behind. |

I was so excited to read this book because I had read This Historian and enjoyed it. I gave this book EVERY opportunity, but it simply didn't capture My attention. As shame given how much I liked The Historian! |

"The sensed presence of a 'Sentient Being' can be reliably evoked by very specific temporal patterns of weak transcerebral magnetic fields."
International Journal of NeuroScience, 116 (2006). St.-Pierre and Persinger
What they mean is that they can, with scientific reliability, "make" people believe there is a 'God' via stimulating specific parts of the brain in specific ways. Interesting.
You may have noticed recently that I am posting less here and House of HotchKiss. I am simply BUSY with life, working, and having fun. I will continue to post; but it will be random. I like answering formspring questions and will continue doing that, twittering, and other projects . . . still to cum!

As My readers know, I recently lost a very important part of My household: Sport.
A friend with 4 dogs called Me on Friday afternoon, panicking as she had found 2 3-week old kittens. She is a realtor and they were in a model home with no mother.
They have been to the vet and are doing well; if LOUD! The mewling noise is more like a sheep bleeting! Trust Me on this . . .
It didn’t take too much soul searching to adopt them. When the universe says jump; typically I do.
The least impressed part of the household is Fury; My 8 year old cat. Mostly, he is ignoring them; just what he did to Sport. And they became friends.
