What to say about Anne? She is with me always, as I think about this ultimate kindred spirit "Anne with an e" would do. Anne is one of the reasons why I am a reader, because early in my childhood I stumbled upon Anne and she influenced me to continue reading, exploring and discovering more within the pages of the books around me. ...less

I would like to be Zora Neale Hurston's neighbor. She has a spirit that comes out of her words and her story that fills me up in new ways that are all vaguely familiar every time I read her material.
She writes of Janie Crawford, a free spirit living in the southern US during the late 1930's, who has known being a man's workhorse and another man's adornment. Then she finds Tea Cake, a younger man who is doubted by everyone else in her life, and yet is someone who engages her heart and her spirit equally, inviting her to embrace life with him.
The story doesn't end the way one would expect. However, that is further testament to Hurston's immense talent. Janie comes to the ultimate conclusion "two things everybody's got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go tuh God, and they got tuh find out about livin' fuh theyselves."...less
