Some of them I loved, loved, loved. (The Book Thief, The Sisters Brothers, and Shane… I’m looking at you.)
Some of them I liked quite well. (Songbook and Fahrenheit 451)
Some of them… I made it through. (Shopgirl [I wanted to like it, really, I did] and White Tiger [the narrator just wouldn’t shut up!] and Riders of the Purple Sage [which I liked better when I read it back in library school])
On our next episode… the group discusses Hondo by Louis
L’Amour.
The suspense builds… How will L’Amour’s writing stand up against Grey’s prose? How will his plot compare with the perfect tension of Shane?
Tune in next time…
