I'm usually all about non-fiction. And I love Steinbeck-- Cannery Row is one of my favorite books. I usually reread it every few years.<br /><br />Barb-<br />Way-cool! I am still enjoying "Son of the Circus."<br /><br />Erik-<br />Vonnegut-- imagine that! You?<br /><br />You know, I have to admit, I've never gotten around to reading his best-known book, Slaughterhouse Five (I've read a bunch of his other stuff) Maybe I should add that to my "Goals" list.<br /><br />Kim-<br />I don't care who he thinks he is-- I'm enjoying the book. And I'm still an athiest ; )<br /><br />Lulu-<br />Thanks for the suggestion!Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-22572063362319210202007-01-19T08:38:00.000-06:002007-01-19T08:38:00.000-06:00Personally, I love Irving, particularly Cider Hous...Personally, I love Irving, particularly Cider House Rules, but to each her own.
