I cannot thank you enough for turning me on to this book. It is wonderful! I love your book reviews but usually I have already read the books. So glad to have found this one.

We had My Antonia at school very long ago, and I even enjoyed it then.<br /><br />Louise Erdrich is writing a series of young adult novels that roughly parallel the Ojibwa experience from the time of the Little House books. These are very well written and fascinating. I've tried reading them to the girl, with no luck, so I wound up reading them for myself, and loved them.rosesmamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-35817318539597660202010-05-06T17:24:50.128-04:002010-05-06T17:24:50.128-04:00I have been on a mission to get everyone I know to...I have been on a mission to get everyone I know to read Stoner by John Williams.

That was the first Pym novel I read and I pull it out and re-read it from time to time.<br /><br />Now I must find "The Painted Veil" -- love Maugham but never read that one.
