Mercy Robin, you can read all this and make peach pie too? I haven't read any Madeleine L'Engle but have wanted to. Which would you suggest I start with? Kathy
I'd like to know how you found John Punshon's book "Reasons for Hope." (I liked it a lot, though it was not an easy read, for me.)
Wow: someone to rival me! It's really bad when you have your library card number memorized because you place so many online holds. :)
And oh, Madeleine is so my girl: she's who I want to be when I grow up, except I think some of her magic is that she hasn't really grown up. Have you read her Crosswick Journals? For me, they're love letters from the soul.
Kathy, several of these are children's books that move quickly. As for Madeleine L'Engle, I started with A Wrinkle in Time, back in the fifth grade. I think it's a good place to start. I re-read it last year, I think. An Endless Ring of Light is the third book in a series for young adults that starts with Meet the Austins, which I haven't read, but I may now. I found all of the L'Engle books in a box of Chris's and my old books that Henry got into. It's been a good balance to George Fox.
Aj, I haven't read the Crosswick Journals - are they for grownups? Her children's books are complicated enough.
Paul, I'm planning to write more of a review of the Punshon book, but I haven't gotten there over the summer. The first word I would use to describe it is a "slog", but I do have kinder words to add to that.
Dandelion Seeds and Crystal,
I don't really know Susan, I just know that she reads my blog occasionally and I read hers occasionally. So while I am happy to hold her and her family and friends in the Light, I won't be contributing anything else. Thank you though for letting me know that she is being supported by you.
I almost forgot, I also finally read The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac. I read On the Road in college, at a boyfriend's house. I got this one as a Halloween prize at the library about five years ago, but never actually read it until this summer.
Petit coucou de Genève de la part de Xavier Verzat ! Take care (verzat at hotmail)
