I'll be reading and reviewing one of Toni Morrison's novels this month, after wanting to read it for some time yet holding back.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-90160496366539348442010-02-02T21:28:56.496+00:002010-02-02T21:28:56.496+00:00Well, I learned a lot of new things about you beca...Well, I learned a lot of new things about you because I've only sporadically been following book-blogs for a few weeks now, but I was pleased to see so many of my own favourite reads in your list because it makes me think that I'll enjoy the others there as well. I'm especially keen on exploring Angela Carter and Toni Morrison in a more serious way (i.e. make a spreadsheet and obsessively read and re-read my way through the lists of their works from start 'til stop).

There was a little bit of impulse with this but no surprise (for me).<br /><br />Oh, thank you, Samantha :). Books are such an intrinsic part of my life and I do want it to show that I love them.<br /><br />Let me know if you do decide to do your Master's; I'd love to do further study at some point.<br /><br />anothercookie, thanks! Pleased you enjoyed it. If I had to choose any that you must read then of course it would be Nights at the Circus!<br /><br />"The Doll House" is an exquisite story about the cruelty of children.<br /><br />Jill, I am indeed ... Trumpet is fascinating and tragic.<br /><br />Claire, I think choosing books all by women is telling of my interests, even though I have so many favourite male writers.<br />I'm glad that my choices informed you a little bit more; it's wonderful to share the books we love and why we love them.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-84132459988499385032010-01-31T16:17:54.468+00:002010-01-31T16:17:54.468+00:00The books we love do define us.
