I didn't like "Three Junes" - it seemed 100 pages and 3 characters too long. No one else in the group cared for it overall, either.
When it's my turn, I'm going to have the group read "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. I wonder what the reaction will be.
My reread books: "Stranger In A Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein, "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis, and anything by Peter Straub or Clive Barker. I just packed up a ton of paperbacks for "retirement". In my quest to de-clutter myself, I (alphabetically, of course) packed several boxes of books by authors which I can't bear to give up, but don't want sitting on my shelves. Go figure.
My reading ability returned this week after EMDR therapy. I was thrilled with this side effect! It's like getting the use of your legs back after being bed-ridden for months.
Do you know anyone who might need a "Star Trek Cooking Manual"? I bet you it's out of print.
What about you?
