A less well-known work, but a must for the Steinbeck reader.

4. Every summer I choose an author to re read.... |
|
About five years ago, it was Steinbeck and what a great summer of reading it was that year. This year, I am rereading Kurt Vonnegut..so, this summer is going to be a good one too. I do love Steinbeck!

I really do not believe they will ever be replaced with hard core readers.

I picked this book up at our dump- (we have a put&take that has some really wonderful stuff) late this winter and read it for the first time. I'd never heard of it, it was a quick excellent read. Have you read this?

Put and take sounds like a wonderful idea !Sorry to say , but it would never catch on here in Fundy / Republican heaven
and even if it did the books would be beyond interesting if one REALLY loves Sara Palin.

Think these are some real fine books. We'd be reading them here at the Palace if any of us could read more than our names.
