I'll have to check it out now, just because I'm curious. (Is it weird that I'd prefer to read someone's biography after they've passed away?)<br /><br />I still need to try Ayn Rand...I must be missing some piece of American literary context by never reading anything of hers.<br /><br />Also, I need to check me out some more Potok.

Just because I heart your end-of-year reviews.trishtatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761421199838284000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-40252102686710067152012-01-01T19:42:43.625-07:002012-01-01T19:42:43.625-07:00I feel the same way about Daughters in My Kingdom....I feel the same way about Daughters in My Kingdom.
