I read Roth's American Pastoral (enjoyed it), Beloved by Tony Morrison (good but tough emotionally), and I listened to Wells' The Time Machine last summer with my husband - we both enjoyed it. We just bought a Hemingway so I hope to get to that soon.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-86785868727488554742015-06-23T19:17:51.570-04:002015-06-23T19:17:51.570-04:00You haven't read any Jane Austen!!!

I read it in high school and loved it. I haven't read Tolstoy either, but he's on my list. Someday I will dive into War and Peace!<br /><br />I like your blog!
