I wish the people who contributed said something about why those books were so important to them!<BR/><BR/>Karen - Thank you. And your thoughts definitely increase my resolve to read "The Disappearance."TZThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01115184964695756281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085052.post-68328960336615485352009-01-21T01:06:00.000-05:002009-01-21T01:06:00.000-05:00I found it here in this post, scrolling through the deep lines. I read "The Disappearance," years ago after hearing the very same broadcast you did. Ordered it fearfully, like mouthing a scorcerer's spell. I read it because her plain, straight, eyewitness telling, her truth, inspired my own. It is a slender thing. Read it and set it aside. And I loved and hated Liz Gilbert. The book she writes when she grows up will be wiser, just not nearly as much fun. Everything that occurs to you is what you should read; everything will evoke your own voice.Karen Maezen Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13064181514433489546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085052.post-82265017291550831772009-01-17T14:47:00.000-05:002009-01-17T14:47:00.000-05:00i like this list- a good rewind and re-read list for me http://mammaloves.blogspot.com/2008/08/twitter-speaks-more-than-50-books-that.htmlamy turn sharp of doobleh-vayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02464390111666094856noreply@blogger.com
