Cari's Commonplace Book

A Commonplace Book is a book to write things down and keep notes in. Authors often keep such notebooks and each is unique to the author who keeps them. Cari has collected notes from the books she has read among other things. Here, between these pages, is a glimpse into the the information she felt was interesting or important. Much of it became inspiration for stories or contemplated in her diary. Cari has been taking notes since age 12 and keeping them tucked away "just in case." This, of course, was before the internet. At age 14 she got books out books from the College Library for research because her local library didn't have anything on the subject of Peace Movements. These days she has her Master's Degree in English Literature, but researches everything from Buddhism to Gnosticism to Psychology.
