I was enjoying “Mr. Breakfast” – a remarkable book by Jonathan Carroll – when I came across a reference to an “Omar Souleyman.” I didn’t know if he was fictional, or for real.

I put down my e-reader and looked him up – and he’s the real thing. WOW.

Check this out; you’ll be glad you did.

Had to peel myself away from my #LunchtimeReading - I have many favourite authors, but even among those, Jonathan Carroll is special. Happily sink into his words and worlds...

I love so many different writers, but there is just something especially satisfying to me when reading a new Jonathan Carroll novel, nobody else quite like his work, words as magical invocation, summoning a tale that wraps around you.

#LunchtineReading : Mr Breakfast, by the frankly rather wonderful Jonathan Carroll, which has been waiting patiently on my Eternal TBR Pile for weeks.

Deep, contented sigh; Carroll is, for me, simply one of the most fascinating writers out there.
