It's been a while since I read Beloved. I think you're right, horrific is the better description of it. Slavery as the base and then the craziness. It wasn't fun to read, difficult really, but oftentimes that's T Morrison, in my opinion. I did think it was a book of value.
Typing too fast, I meant "easily rival a chain" but I haven't had caffeine yet today.
I'm in Dottie's corner too. I love to make a trip to my favorite bookstore this time of year. The Tattered Cover in Denver is wonderful, an independent with so much charm yet the selection of books to easily rival a change. Wonderful atmosphere. Their employees are so helpful too when you are trying to find the perfect book for your favorite kids. Gee, I just made a commercial. Go Tattered Cover!
Catyche, you said this is a book to own, not borrow and I believe you're right. A good friend loaned me The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and I loaned it to my husband who returned it but this brings it home. I want my own copy!
Just joined and am looking forward to some reading guidance and ideas. I've been traveling for business for some time and have allowed myself to get stuck in the airport, grabbing a best seller without really much interest in reading it. And life is just too short. This should be fun
