I think I'll add it to my stack for January.<br /><br />I gave my mom the Quindlen book and keep meaning to her if I can borrow it, although it may be one I want to own so I can highlight my favorite passages. Could wind up with a completely highlighted book, though! I love her writing!<br /><br />I've only read one of your most recommended books (Defending Jacob), but I plan to read the other four. I also want to try Ivan Doig. I have a few of his books, but have never read him!<br /><br />Here's to another great year of reading, Diane!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-25902163808895991422012-12-29T07:32:19.754-05:002012-12-29T07:32:19.754-05:00I might revisit East of Eden after your glowing pr...I might revisit East of Eden after your glowing praise. I did not finish the Anna Quindlen book. I just couldn't relate. I think it was because she started out talking about collecting things and filling up her house with mementos and I really couldn't relate to that.
