You know, I was wondering if you would be doing TN Williams namesake play! Have fun reading and thanks for participating!
Hi Maggie, actually, I was thinking since the Complete Flannery O'Connor is quite thick, if I can't finish it by August, I'll pick up William's play. Hee. I realise I need to keep options as a way out sometimes. :)
Good luck! I'm also reading books I already own. Gotta work on whittling down the stacks you know :)
Which book are you starting with first?
Ah, Iliana - that's a good question. A good *diificult* question.
I'll probably start with the Flannery O'Connor collection, but I'll also probably be bringing "The Color Purple" to work, to read on the way and back.
I'm an octopus and I have a compulsive need to multi-task!
