i read this pretty recently, and definitely come down on the side of classic. i think all Great sci-fi revolves around what it means to be human, and this one does that better than most. ]]> <![CDATA[Jessica took the never-ending book quiz]]> http://www.goodreads.com/trivia Nophoto-f-50x66 Jessica took the never-ending book quiz.

]]> <![CDATA[Jessica added 'The Hard-Boiled Virgin']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61504640 to: The Hard-Boiled Virgin (Brown Thrasher Books) by Frances Newman
This is my all-time favorite book, but it is not for everyone. Newman uses long, dense sentences and penchant for sarcastic euphemism to skewer early 20th century society in Atlanta, Georgia. It is a novel that is uniquely Southern, but also uniquely of its time. While I've read reviews from the time which disdain her oblique and occasionally murky style, wading through her jungle of words was graet fun for me. Newman is smart and incredibly funny in this dry, semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel. ]]> <![CDATA[Jessica added 'The House of the Spirits']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61504061 to: The House of the Spirits (Paperback) by Isabel Allende
