There is a remarkable amount of charisma to be found at 84, Charing Cross Road… Its style and prose is as quaint as an antique bookshop, complete with the commonality of typos. If you chose to quit reading here any further, rest assured you will be pleased with the language, settings, and quality of character depicted on the pages of this book. As an incarcerated person myself, most new friendships I strike up with the world beyond are through the power of writing, so Hanff’s ability to befriend a whole bookstore staff on another continent speaks volumes of how powerful written communication truly is. Hanff, through her own personal accounts, shares the ability to know the people you’ve never met.
I really want to know you! I hope we can connect and strike up a wonderful conversation.Īfter finishing “84, Charing Cross Road” by Helene Hanff, I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the power of correspondence. I’m a deeply social person who wants to build my network beyond prison and I want you to know me. I’m sensitive and empathic and people mean the world to me.
I like a brilliant movie and I’m into all types of music. I love a great joke, a good book and I can cook.
I serve my prison community as a peer reentry facilitator to help people reclaim their freedoms. My favorite work is done with the University of Washington on special projects with students. I work intently with veteran’s issues because there are more of us in prison than I’d like to admit. I’m a quilter, a public speaker and I’m extremely driven to find the very best in people. I enjoy the human condition and how people repair their own broken lives. I’m a writer for and I just started blogging a couple of years ago. I’m a combat veteran of Iraq who’s had my own life challenges but I work hard at promoting a better life, especially in the face of my shortcomings. My name is Rory and I have a story of hope that I want to tell you. We all have a powerful story and I’m no different.
