About Me

Love to read. I set out to create a rest-of-my-life reading list. I ended up calling it my impossible to read in a lifetime list. I think it has 3000 titles on it.

  A fun book. I was so reminded of my boyhood as I read about Tom's adventures. Twain captures the fun, the excitement, the puppy love, and the bs, of being a boy so well. I posted this on 23 November 2009

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - A fun book.

Etc. - Question of the Week #16: Favorite Female Writers

Ahh, easy. Pearl S. Buck because The Good Earth was the first novel I couldn't put down when I was a kid. Having just finished Wuthering Heights I have to mention Emily Brontë. I can't remember where I read it, but one critic considers Wuthering Heights the greatest novel in English. I don't know if I would agree with that, but it is easily in the top 10.

Modern women writers I have enjoyed include Barbara Kingsolver, Audrey Niffenegger, Sue Monk Kidd, and really, many others.

Question of the Week - Question of the Week #34: You: The Book

An artist's journal with watercolor studies of birds and insects and landscapes, and charcoal studies of faces and hands and eyes and noses and lips, and quick pencil drawings of fanciful things. Each page would have copious notes of what the artist sees and feels when studying each subject.
