Lol ... wanting some character definition and a bit of a story ... we are so fussy, aren't we?

I read a few Lessings in my teens, and didn't particularly like them.

Ooh yeah. Faboo. Did you know he has a yahoogroup?

Thanks Lola ... I might need it!

I just picked this one up at the op shop today.

Nettie, I'm reading so fast because I'm not doing ANYTHING ELSE!

I really liked this one too.

I have a few A's and B's to get through first :-)

"Everything You Need" by A.L. Kennedy. I doubt I would ever have come across this author without this list. I thought it was well-written but I never really gelled with the "near-death" motivation of the writers on the island. I don't think that was presented convincingly. But I found it beautifully visual; I could really imagine the island and its beauty. A good read.

Oh yeah ... I read and loved it in English middle school ... I'd forgotten about it. That was so long ago it's definitely due for a re-read

On Beauty, and Aesop's Fables.

I sorted the list alphabetically by author's name (FIRST name, that is) and I'm working down from the top. Unless I really love a particular author, I probably won't read more than one in a row by any particular writer. I'm also limited by what my library has its shelves.

LOVED this one, Michael. (hmm, it's also still on my shelf ....)

Thanks for the recommendation, Michael. Since school started a month ago, my leisure reading time has evaporated. Basically, I study till I crash every night. Thus the lack of updates on my part. But I'll eventually get back to it ...

I read this a year or more ago, Michael. In fact, it's one of the books I've kept for future re-reading (you know how I usually pass books on.) Good stuff.
