Master Butcher's Singing Club is one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Like you I also like to keep lists,etc of what I've read. Some years ago I started keeping a book journal. I do one page on each book I read. It is great to go back and survey what has been read each year. It is also a great to go back, sometimes several years, and reread a page. Somehow the one page of notes brings back so much of the book.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>RegZooey/Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01788495644563547449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818367422386042316.post-55905080757026466702008-03-13T11:20:00.000-07:002008-03-13T11:20:00.000-07:00I love books.

Today I picked up the 3rd edition of The Bedford Introduction to Literature by Michael Meyer, and simply by accident I opened it on page 132. I have never heard of the name Louise Erdrich, but the title of the short story, I am a dog biting myself fro sympathy, caught my attention right away. I have read it twice already and most likely, I will read it again before the day is over. The story is so vivid and real I feel like it is me going through this predicament. This story is going on my list of best short stories ever. I wish I could put down on paper masterpieces of such magnitude. Maybe on my next life I will be blessed with that great of talent. One thing is for sure, I will be reading more Louise Erdrich in the near future. Thank you!Oscarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439605280133247644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818367422386042316.post-23929639491873856702008-03-12T07:07:00.000-07:002008-03-12T07:07:00.000-07:00I've read and much appreciated Brooks last couple ...I've read and much appreciated Brooks last couple of novels (March, Year of Wonders). I recently read a non-fiction piece by her in The New Yorker covering the basic real story of the principal characters the life of the Sarajevo Haggadah. I highly recommend this piece and I'm looking forward to reading People of the Book - right after Plague of Doves - advance copies of both are on my nightstand.<BR/><BR/>Reg - MichiganZooey/Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01788495644563547449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818367422386042316.post-74600499416360658812008-03-11T20:15:00.000-07:002008-03-11T20:15:00.000-07:00Just returned home from a very enjoyable evening h...Just returned home from a very enjoyable evening hearing you speak in Syracuse and thought I would check out BirchBark Books. I like your website and your blog. i hate that word. Blog. sounds like a swamp creature. Anyways..<BR/>I have been a fan for 20 years since The Beet Queen. Your books have seen me through many years of long, arid winters here in NNY. Thank you. <BR/>As the great grand daughter of an "indian fighter" learning from your writing about Native Americans seems like a small act of atonement for the "sins of the fathers". I hope your efforts to preserve the language continue to grow.BEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987625949840888482noreply@blogger.com
