I'm still trying to finish up the last chapters of the "heart is a lonely Hunter"
I refuse to read anything else 'til that's done but it's been really hard to concentrate never mind, read or make sense of what I've read. I've been in bookstores way too frequently and bought more than enough books to read during two retirements. The first chapter of "Middlesex" was very intriging.However, another book you might want to look at is one I bought months (maybe two years ago) called "The Magdalen" (It's in the car but I think that's the title). There is a movie coming out based on the book. So I'm trying to finish THIALH so I can read Magdalen before the movie is released in theaters near us. As the back cover sort of states: It's a story of single young women sent away to live with the nuns in a convent in Ireland to work in the laundry and stay 'good'. I assume there is a fair amount of abuse (otherwise, what would the interest in making a movie out of the book be). I hope I get to it before the next school year begins.
Keep telling us what you are reading, I admire your love of books (plus I too enjoy the children's section.) Have you read "Good Night Mr. Tom" by Magoiran. It was out of print for a while but seems to have made a comeback. I always cried through that book, yet I don't really remember the story now. I hate depression and memory!MA
