There's an updated list on my Author's Den bio page, if any of you are interested. Important additions include E. Annie Proulx's The Shipping News. At last a novel that sends me reeling as much as The Poisonwood Bible. Just talking reads within the past
couple years. Other books on the list, I -- along with countless others -- have counted among my friends for years. Bless their authors, all of whom will live forever in hearts and minds. Still touch our souls!
Read ON!
Hugs,
Pea aka Pod {aka Don' ask - smile}
