This blog's purpose is to promote the novel, The Long Habit of Living, by Mark Zipoli. Posts have excerpts from the book and related visuals to give the reader a heightened literary experience. Oftentimes posts may refer to my championing the works of John Cowper Powys, Orhan Pamuk, Doris Lessing, Anita Brookner, and other heroes.

Page 131 "...the books of the American Civil War like Joshua Chamberlain..."
From page 131 of the book: "...Below the picture was Owen's desk: a small table clut-tered with books of the American Civil War like Joshua Cham-berlain's Passing of the Armies, Moxley Sorrel's Recollections, James Longstreet's From Manassas to Appomattox, Shelby Foote's trilogy, and a dozen other volumes lending nourishment to his infatuation with this subject."
