I remember when I left da Burgh the first time, as an almost college Junior, that EVERYONE said to me, oh I loved that Annie Dillard book. <BR/><BR/>Plus, it has someone doing something I'd never do: take a trip down the Mississippi in a boat.Sarah Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251034210962259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-13270652839627008782008-08-12T09:06:00.000-04:002008-08-12T09:06:00.000-04:00Is the Jincy Willett is short stories or a novel?Is the Jincy Willett is short stories or a novel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-42466590880613834732008-08-11T23:55:00.000-04:002008-08-11T23:55:00.000-04:00People often think of Goblin Market as a fairy tal...People often think of Goblin Market as a fairy tale for kids, but it's way too creepy for that.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066257241391122732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-5343818195115890232008-08-11T00:27:00.000-04:002008-08-11T00:27:00.000-04:00Well done for making it through the week alone in ...Well done for making it through the week alone in charge of four little males.<BR/><BR/>Can I just say that The Virgin Blue is a devastating and very good story, but I think it's the weakest of Chevalier's writing. Let me know what you think - I found her dialogue poor and some bits cringeworthy. However as I said, a terrific story. Her later books are much much better. 'Burning Bright' is set in olde London and features William Blake as the protagonists' next door neighbour and my favourite reading colleague has just read this and adored it, and her other one 'Falling Angels' is ostensibly about two little girls and their friendship, but is really about death and mourning in Victorian times (olde London again). You like death, try that one.<BR/><BR/>Ack, long commentitis!Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-20375627378666159052008-08-10T15:42:00.000-04:002008-08-10T15:42:00.000-04:00Seriously, yay you!Seriously, yay you!Velmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425566563311066790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-51327424214040154842008-08-10T11:29:00.000-04:002008-08-10T11:29:00.000-04:00Good job keeping the kids busy.
