Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from
Intersections
by Keith R. Wilson
My 56 is actually from page 65. Switched the numbers to find a good quote.
Every intersection is an opportunity to get out, to change, to choose, to be someone else, to do something else. Every intersection interrupts the hurtling train of our thoughts. Every little thing we notice turns us down a new road, opens a door to a new mansion, invites us to a party. Every little thing gives us new hope. Every little thing tells us there is more out there than what we know.
Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
Go on the road with Larry, a suicidal psychotherapist. Middle-aged and obese, divorced and estranged from his children, Larry sets off across the country, ambivalently seeking restoration amid scraps of long-distance fatherhood. He encounters an amorous nursing home death cat, a serendipitous Rastafarian, a drunken Katrina refugee who just might be an incarnation of a Voodoo god, and a murderous mountaineer who teaches him how to let go. He’s transformed by a series of spiritual discoveries that proffer insight about life’s fundamental questions. Intersections takes unexpected turns on a journey from despair to re-enchantment, from loneliness to reconciliation, from the carnal to the transcendent and back again.

Wow, that sounds like quite a journey! Thanks for sharing…and here’s mine: “THE LIARS’ CLUB”
It sure is!
The blurb made my head spin! LOL Please check out mine… http://lisaksbookthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/10/its-cozy-food-friday-that-means-its.html
I know. Different from what you expected. LOL
Not sure if I would like that one, but glad you are enjoying it. I like it when I read something I wouldn’t normally and I enjoy it. 🙂

Not all of it is. Some of it is hilarious.
It sounds interesting. I will add to my tbr list.
The blurb made me curious. I’m about 70 pages into it and having a good time.
Sounds like a fascinating quest with plenty of quirky characters. My kind of book!
My Friday post features Seeing You Again.
I like it. And you are right, there are some quirky characters. When I think about going to new places, even familiar ones, I recall some characters that stood out, even from brief encounters.
Not my type of book necessarily either but the description made me smile! Enjoy.
I’m glad to get a chance to read it. Having fun and expanding my book horizon:)
Seems interesting, thanks for sharing.
I like lots of characters in the books I read and have already met some unique ones in this book.
Haha, I think Halloween is getting to me because my first thought when I saw the cover was the Shining. Glad your’re enjoying it!
Now that you mention it, I see what you mean! LOL
Made an ordinary intersection, poignant! Nice!
Happy weekend!

And we sure do come across a lot of intersections in life, don’t we?
Sounds like a really good book.
It’s caught me by surprise.
Good idea! I’ve been stuck with some really lackluster quotes from page 56!
I’ve done my 56 several different ways. To get a good quote, you do what ya gotta do. LOL
From the quote I at first thought it was a self-help book, although I guess it kind of is, just fictionalized.
Yep, fictionalized and fun:)
Sounds like an interesting read. I love journey type stories.
So do I!
Fantastic quote!
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).
I had fun with this one!
