Wow, Melissa, that was quick, merci beaucoup mon ami! :)
Love your list. I haven't read "Grapes of Wrath" yet, but I get the feeling I might have to update my meme once I read it. Consider your wish to read a Toni Morrison book granted - I'll send you my copy of "The Bluest Eye". It's well worth a read.
"Sixpence House" sounds wonderful - a town filled with bookstores sounds like heaven to me. Is it turning out to be a good read?
Will return to your blog later.
Ah books, the very things that threaten to implode my head from the inside at anymoment...I need a break.
lotus, thank you for offering 'bluest eye'! i'd love it. and sixpence house is good so far (you'd like it, it's SHORT!) and if i like it i'll send it along to you.
jay, i know that you got a BIG break today! congratulations!
Hey Melissa, I did this meme today, too. :)
I also LOVED the Grapes of Wrath. Did you see the movie? The thing that struck me with both of them was that there was none of the perspective that time brings...the book and the movie were made while the dustbowl and the depression were still going on. I don't know why that struck me so hard...maybe because I had more of an idea of how things would turn out than they did.
I'm going to read "bluest eyes" too. ;) And loved the yaya, and The Red Tent (gave it as a gift many times), and also Where the Sidewalk ends. Sigh. So many good books.
