It's not fast paced, but it's beautifully written and filled with symbolism.<br /><br />A favorite book, is Islandia by Austin Tappan Wright. It was published after his death in 1942. If you take the time to read through the first couple of chapters you might well be carried into a world form which you won't want to leave.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-35843638712222035592013-09-17T15:29:42.220-04:002013-09-17T15:29:42.220-04:00Hey Liza, I dedicated something to you on the Thur...Hey Liza, I dedicated something to you on the Thursday post.

I'm way behind on all counts. A book a week? No way!!<br /><br />"A Sport and a Pasttime" by James Salter was pretty good. Currently reading 11/23/63 by Stephen King, you know, the what-if-Kennedy- hadn't-died novel, which I find an intriguing concept. He's very wordy though and it will probably take me til November.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-39287815110827162302013-09-11T12:01:05.869-04:002013-09-11T12:01:05.869-04:00I love this idea.

I find the younger characters refreshing and I like that they are less "racy" then so many books for adults. That isn't to say that I strictly read YA, because I don't. Right now I am re-reading a Stephanie Plum novel (by Janet Evanovich) simply because they are so much FUN. I always laugh a lot when I read them!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-90785602982706574782013-09-09T12:15:34.101-04:002013-09-09T12:15:34.101-04:00I read so many different genre of books I couldn&#...I read so many different genre of books I couldn't begin to suggest one.
