I read Austen years ago and of course have seen the movies. I read Wiebe years ago too I think but my memories is vague. I've noticed he shows up on your blog a lot and have thought of picking him up again. Of the prairie writers Margaret Laurence has always been my favourite. I devoured her when I was in my late teens/early twenties. I should re-read her now that I'm considerably older. One of my other favourites I need to add to my list is David Lodge. I loved Small World and Nice Work and really enjoyed Paradise News which I read a couple of weeks ago.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851261237969264984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511383831198638815.post-35813841026544919032007-07-29T21:53:00.000-06:002007-07-29T21:53:00.000-06:00I'm a George Eliot fan - I love 'Middlemarch', 'Ad...I'm a George Eliot fan - I love 'Middlemarch', 'Adam Bede', 'Scenes of Clerical Life', and 'Felix Holt the Radical'. Also Jane Austen - 'Emma' is my favourite, but of course I like 'Pride and Prejudice' too. I really like Rudy Wiebe, especially 'Peace Shall Destroy Many', 'The Scorched-Wood People', 'The Temptations of Big Bear' and 'Sweeter than All the World'.Tim Chestertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676859074652475474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511383831198638815.post-65881912036587055312007-07-26T16:33:00.000-06:002007-07-26T16:33:00.000-06:00Thanks Sarah!Thanks Sarah!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851261237969264984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511383831198638815.post-88199317602589123892007-07-26T16:05:00.000-06:002007-07-26T16:05:00.000-06:00Consumption by Kevin Patterson, a Canadian doctor,...Consumption by Kevin Patterson, a Canadian doctor, for anyone who wants to read a good story set in the North. Neat little murder mystery subplot too - betcha won't be able to guess whodunit!<BR/><BR/>Independent People by Halldór Laxness - probably the best book I've ever read.<BR/><BR/>The Tree of Life Trilogy by Chava Rosenfarb - the Globe and Mail said they were Dickensian but I think they are more Dostoevskian. I wish more people I knew read those books - I'm dying to talk about them.<BR/><BR/>fyi - my favourite Barbara Kingsolver book is The Bean Trees.Hjördíshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00758364109919748481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511383831198638815.post-1097089169012484782007-07-26T11:58:00.000-06:002007-07-26T11:58:00.000-06:00Don't know it.
