After spending an interminable day in the ER with my son, I almost finished, in one sitting, Between Georgia. Good portrait of a Southern family, but nothing particularly "Georgian" about the setting. Like Arkansas Traveler, there is a major theme of sisters feuding -- quite nastily. Hate to think that is a Southern proclivity. Also finished Falling Man, a most complex book that probably merits buying and structurally analyzing as to how Delillo's style reflects the emotional havoc of 9/11 and it's impact on relationships and sense of self and safety.

At the suggestion of the Venezio Kid, we have substituted The Orchid Thief for the previously listed book for Florida. There are only 20 unclaimed states left. Give some more thought to any subject/author from: Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, NH, Pa, RI, SC, SD, Tennessee, Washington, and WV, and of course DC.

Next posting I will re-list the 30 that have a title chosen.

  1. Think I finally figured out how to post a comment. Having a listing of all those we've agreed to so far is good but first, hope your son ( and you) are doing better!
