Discussing with Zibilee really helped me to understand certain aspects of the book better and I think I liked it more because of our discussion than I would have if I ad read it alone.<br /><br />Softdrink- I don't blame you as clearly I wasn't brave enough to go it alone, either!

I think it can be important to have someone help us think through the weightier books.

I read this book in an English Lit class in college for the first time and have read it again since then. I've absolutely loved it both times, but I'm glad I read it the first time with a class. I don't know what it is about this book but it was just so touching and moving...it just stole my heart away! Great review ladies!!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.com
