This month is Cather's "My Antonia", which I read when a teenager. I loved it then and love it now.The Maine Gray Zonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560204124547398375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-60546914186634710532018-06-09T22:15:09.368-04:002018-06-09T22:15:09.368-04:00Oh, I love Kristin Hannah and will have to get tha...Oh, I love Kristin Hannah and will have to get that book.

It would save time if they had a “really good read” section, but who would make the call? I will look for NotW next time I’m in town. It has been raining for a week so I actually have time to read. I recommend Maggie O’Farrell, a new to me author whose prose is exquisite. One of the few authors who force me to read every word, I have a bad habit of skipping bits.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-30255198216200810972018-06-08T19:34:30.567-04:002018-06-08T19:34:30.567-04:00After reading voraciously from grade school throug...After reading voraciously from grade school through college, my reading petered out and eventually stopped almost completely after I got married, because SOMEone didn't like getting tuned out. :-/ When I'm in the car, I like to listen to public broadcasting to keep up with a balanced take on world news. Good books are like crack to me – I can't put them down during, and have a severe LETdown after!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-5643667026103866662018-06-08T19:02:32.007-04:002018-06-08T19:02:32.007-04:00SUPER, to find great books!!!!!!!!SUPER, to find great books!!!!!!!!wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-69867127692161022822018-06-08T18:16:59.503-04:002018-06-08T18:16:59.503-04:00I'll have to give those first two a try. which...I'll have to give those first two a try. which reminds me, I'm due to post my quarterly book reviews.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-27520589619352220032018-06-08T15:52:25.162-04:002018-06-08T15:52:25.162-04:00Oh, thanks for the reading list.

I could probably listen a third time happily.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-18395848010267601692018-06-08T13:55:29.007-04:002018-06-08T13:55:29.007-04:00I love reading a book that is so good I just canno...I love reading a book that is so good I just cannot put it down! But you're right, they are relatively rare. "Watership Down" was one such book for me -- I first read it in university and I stayed up all night reading it because it was so compelling and exciting!
