	Constance said: "never have i love-hated a "thought" so much-- i would call the book one long, awfully convincing thought. a liberating and yet a depressing thought. " add a comment

	Constance gave to: The One-Strand River: Poems, 1994-2007 (Hardcover) by Richard Kenney	my rating:
	Constance said: "I can't believe I get to study with this man next year. Most of my favorite books of poetry are old 20th century classics, because that's when lyricism still reigned. "One Strand River" falls in that tradition, sublimely so. " add a comment

	Constance gave to: The Bell (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) by Iris Murdoch	my rating:
	Constance said: "like brokeback mountain, but british, and better. in retrospect i do declare this was the best book i read in 2007! i find i keep thinking about it. i think of the characters living in fear and not having the courage to act out of love, and i think i...more " add a comment
