Hi Teresa -- Thanks for being my Goodreads friend ! I recently wrote reviews of books by Krishnamurti, Virginia Woolf, Stephen Hawking, Erich Fromm and Karl Marx. I'm very keen on getting feedback of some kind on them. Any comments you can make on these other other reviews of mine will be much appreciated ! Yours truly, Andrew B. Noselli p.s. Is this the best way to write to you as a GR friend ?
