I love her writing, but I didn't connect with it the way I connected emotionally with the work of McCullers and O'Connor.Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-21560051971801043122013-12-18T16:35:24.871-05:002013-12-18T16:35:24.871-05:00The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll, Tapping th...The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll, Tapping the Source by Kem Nunn, The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, are all books I reread every couple years.Steve Oerkfitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-29816480179111880042013-12-18T15:00:23.766-05:002013-12-18T15:00:23.766-05:00To your list, which is excellent, I would add ever...To your list, which is excellent, I would add everything Eudora Welty ever wrote.

But one particular book has stayed with me because of the subject - total color blindness. Its a mystery, but the main character is totally color blind. Its not so much that but how she lives her life. In total solitude. Could'nt grasp the idea that she didn't have any family and friends around. Her apartment was totally blacked out Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-26544502578950523302013-12-18T08:54:35.787-05:002013-12-18T08:54:35.787-05:00I would put The Secret History by Donna Tartt on t...I would put The Secret History by Donna Tartt on this list as well.

My mother wouldn't permit my sister and me to come pester her before the sun came up, so I just started reading.
