Hi gals, I think it's my turn to pick the book. Since March is such a lllllooonnnggg month with no holidays, I figured it would be a good month for a little more heafty book. So lets read East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I've always wanted to read it because "experts" say its his best, and I really liked his book Grapes of Wrath...yes, this is taking us back to Junior Year English with Mrs. Boykin. I always get really into Steinbeck's books and I feel like he describes people and situations so well.
I also wanted to comment on the dog book, I actually really liked it! It was interesting to see the kid's thought processes, I felt like I maybe understood just a bit what goes through kid's heads that have mental disabilities (was that the politically correct way to say that?). I also didn't know they drop so many f-bombs in Great Britain...haha. My friend from this mission was from England and said to describe things as "dodgy" if they are shady/sketchy. Anyways, happy reading. And I really love you gals and miss you.

Deb, GREAT choice. I just read that book last year and I LOVED it. I don't think I'll re-read it since I just barely read it, but I will refresh my memory using spark notes.
hooray! I've never read it and always wanted to.
Okay, I've been thinking about it for a few minutes and I think I am going to re-read it. It is just that good!
I just reserved my copy at the library! Thanks, Deb!
