Hi Kiddo,This looks like fun - are we to review the book
and discuss it?Some are probably more chattable than others,
I think - I have already read:The Bell Jar - novel
Burton's - archaic, too thick and old
Kraeplin - a medical historian's text really;
I have not read the others - but the
Confederacy of Dunces looks interesting to me;
I would have to get the book out of the library
or order it - I'm not sure of the rules here -
is this a new club?Squiggles
