A perfunctory book (it seems to be over almost before it ends), but it's still nice to see this small moment in Laura's life rendered into fiction. Almost half of the book takes place before the trip to Burr Oak, and of the remaining half, maybe half of that takes place with the family working at the hotel. Of course, given that Ms. Rylant was working with a scant nine pages of written history from LIW to work with, it's fleshed out about as well as could be hoped. The style is a little pithy and 'modern' at times, but isn't too intrusive. Anyway, if you need to go this far into the Little House saga, you're probably going to want to read it regardless. Hardly canonical, but definitely enjoyable. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76297604 Christopher's review of RE/Search 4/5: William S. Burroughs, Throbbing Gristle, Brion Gysin

If there is, I surely haven't heard it! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74101286 to: West from Home: Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, San Francisco, 1915 (Paperback) by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Not bad! After the turgid 'On The Way Home,' this collection of letters (mostly from Laura to Almanzo/Manly, though her daughter writes a few missives home as well) reclaims some of the good humor and wide-eyed fascination of the last few Little House books. Laura travels to San Francisco to spend a few months with her daughter Rose, to work on some book ideas, and also to see the Panama Exhibition, which is taking place all that summer. If you've ever wondered what Laura/Mama Bess thinks about Samoans, kangaroos, real estate in SF, or methods of condensing milk, you will wonder no longer after this book. And if you want to eat an octopus, you will do that too...I promise you that.

If only she hadn't had to grow fat and fall off a streetcar.... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76304158 The Cinema Book (Paperback) by Pam Cook
