I've popped into the LA region in the late 70s. Mind of my Mind by Octavia Butler.

#40 - Is this your first time reading "The Good Earth" or is it a reread? That was one of those monumental books in my teen years that helped me see the difference between excellent writing and fluff. Love it.

#43 - It's my first! I've read a couple of others by Pearl S. Buck and even got to meet her when I was 12, but I never cracked this one before. :o)

Enjoy! Where did you meet her? Come on, quit withholding info from us! :)

I have just transformed into a leopard and ran in the rain. Dark Melody by Christine Feehan

#45 - She was spending the Summer in a little town called Danby, Vermont. I think my folks had read about the place in Yankee Magazine and we drove all the way up from Long Island to look at some property. My dad had just retired early and they were thinking of relocating there. She was down town at the General Store. I was in awe because I had been reading and rereading Fairy Tales of the Orient for years at that point. I had no freaking idea she had written any 'real' books, or won the Pulitzer. She was very gracious and quite lovely, and imposing, too. She spent quite a bit of time talking to my folks about China and its importance to/place in the of the world, because I think Richard Nixon had just come back from there.

#47 clamairy - All I can say is, Wow, what an experience!

I'm hanging out in a Swedish cemetery watching Benny and Shrimp being awkward.

touchstones won't load...

#48 - Benny and Shrimp? Oh, I just looked that up and it looks wonderful!

Thanks, I am glad the incident stuck in my head all these years! :o) The only other famous writer I saw in the flesh was John Gardner, the writer of Grendel. Not too personable, that guy.

Thanks for sharing that clamairy. :)

#50 - I just looked it up and she passed away in that tiny town less than a year after I met her. :o/ For some reason I had pictured her living happily there for many years after that.

I'm at Lallybroch with Roger and Bree, waiting eagerly for developments with Claire and Jamie.

#51 clamairy, Nothing wrong with that. You'll probably always associate her with that town. I'm not very far into it, but Benny & Shrimp is cute.

I'm staying at 'The Laurels', Brickfield Terrace, Holloway, visiting with Caroline and Charles Pooter.

His name makes me break out in smiles :o)

~Readying for another journey to Narnia with Eustace.

I got back from the Dells rather early this morning as my overly-speedy reading had me finishing Fire at about quarter past 2 this morning. Don't quite know where i'm going next, maybe i'll head to Guernsey or perhaps North Carolina (or wherever it is that A Walk to Remember takes place)

Hah! I was just going to tell you that you'll enjoy the trip to the Dells in Fire, LadyViolet, based on >85 RLMCartwright:, but you've already traveled there and back!

It was hard to put down for me, too.
