Alysia

I enjoyed Still Alice and Inside the O’Briens. I had to pause and reflect on this one to really enjoy it because it’s a much different type of story arc than what I’ve been reading. No real climax, plot twists or turns, but just a beautifully told unfolding of a traumatic disease and it’s impact and progression. I gave it 5 stars.

So, you have read Interview with the Vampire? It preceded The Vampire Lestat in publication by 10,or 11 years, and if memory serves, Lestat himself makes reference to it in the introductory section of The Vampire Lestat. But, you can read it second if you like. I was given Realms of Atlantis to read and then went back and read the rest, in chronological order based on publication. It took me about 9 months to get through all of them, but it was well worth the time spent. Anne Rice is a fabulous author.

Almost done with On Second Thought by Kristan Higgins. Then must peruse giant stack of library books to choose next novel. Still have 2 non fiction books to finish too: Prairie Fires (about Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane), and 12 Rules for Life.

Monica Owens I am a huge fan of the Little House books, have read almost everything else by or about Laura, and visited most of the sites where she lived. Prairie Fires has been a tough read, partly because it disturbs some of my illusions about who Laura and Rose were. It’s as much a biography of Rose Wilder Lane as it is of Laura Ingalls Wilder. It’s not sentimental or particularly flattering about Laura or her family. But it has been fascinating. There is a lot of American history (also disturbing) in it: the westward expansion, removal of Native Americans, massacres, destruction of land, the Dust Bowl, politics, and literature. Some of it makes me profoundly sad, but I am glad that I read it – I’m nearly done. Some of the most touching information is about Almanzo. It’s well worth the read.

I read that last week – really enjoyed it. I did not know the true story of that “orphanage” before. I read a little more about it after – many famous people adopted children from there, including Joan Crawford
