Can we read some Blume?
yes! Only if you moderate the discussion of ARE YOU THERE GOD IT’S ME MARGARET. :-)
Let’s read the classics. Dickens, Faulkner, Jackie Collins. Lets begin with “Hollywood Wives.” The themes and subtext in this novel foreshadow today’s celebrity scandal obsessed society and the difficulties of aging women in the film industry and to stay in the game most women have to have plastic surgery, give lots of *edited by moderator for super-racy sexual content* and survive a serial killer’s wrath. Riveting, complicated, you will think of it long after you’ve finished reading. All my love and blessings on your head for success. The store looks homey and modern. I will get there one day soon…XOXO
Count me in!
you know i’m interested. always up for new titles and meeting people who like to talk books.
What about Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence?
Read it years ago and would like to re-read now when I will probably get it in a whole different way – and I love the new tp edition with the french flaps and rough fronts!
