Interesting how that has changed. I still love the library though which is a little like an indie book shop. @Brad, I am always amazed by how much I haven't read! it is astounding how much has been and continues to be published which is good news for writers and readers. :-) @Kelly, my dad loved Shakespeare and introduced me to him so Bill does indeed hold a special place in my literary heart. When I am feeling less than I pull Maya off the shelf to get my groove back, nothing like a little Maya to get you back on track. I'd love to see your list, perhaps a topic for the Round table. ;-) @Alina, the NEA is not doing a very good job of publicizing Read Across America, sadly. Perhaps you can offer them a little PR assistance. :-) I'm glad you liked my list and am glad I was able to share new names. I love trading books, and authors with other readers! @Andrew, I have NIV, KJV and New KJV but must profess a love for the KJV. I think it has a lot to do with my love of Shakespeare. The NIV is definitely plain english but the KJV has such a beauty of language. For example, the Song of Solomon is blush worthy in the King James, not the same in the NIV. @Jamie, I miss indie bookshops too although I must admit I miss them because I moved out of the state. :-) I had never discovered any here in Michigan so have simply used the big chains and Amazon of course for reading finds.
