A Time of Bliss


The Caretaker's An Empty Bliss Beyond This World

As a fan of the dystopian, societies that ban ideas are not just unprogressive, but downright dangerous. In honour of notbanningbooks, here is a list of controversial books that I have enjoyed, and why I think they should continue to be available to all.

I figured that I could sit at home, surrounded by my books, cat and shoes, hoping that a younger, single version of my hero David Mitchell would fall into my lap And online was where I thought other readers would be most likely to hang out. So the Man Booker Prize longlist was announced just last week, and unless you've been living under a rock - you will know that Anna Smaill, none other than the NZ author of my favourite book of the year totally true, cause The Bone Clocks was published last year , is on it!

Mainly because I have made so many predictions about what will go on there, and am disappointed every time. I have a good feeling that it will, but one can never be too sure. To commemorate The Chimes please make it to the Booker shortlist , I've decided to list all the books I thought should have been listed or won, but didn't. This is not a reflection on The Chimes at all.

Once Upon a Time in Bliss

I don't have a crystal ball, nor am I a fly on the wall of the Booker judges' room, if there is such a thing. A little savvy googling led to the knowledge that a book called Vernon God Little - described as "a novel of postmodern gamesmanship". While I admit it sounds interesting, Oryx and Crake was brilliant!

I am of the sincere belief that anything written by Atwood turns to gold. If I had the power, I would award a Booker to every single book she's written. Even her early works. You're welcome to post in the comments section of our blogs.

Thank you for being brave enough to share about it here. I think it might be useful to you to check out our hotline resources here: You will experience a gradual end of the furor of fears, feelings, desires, perceptions, and negative thoughts. And rather than sit by the roadside, you will be encouraged to run directly towards living a blissful life. For me striving for bliss is a daily struggle. I have become more connected to a church which has helped me make connections with more people.
