I learned how to throw pots on a wheel because of that book, just in case I ever need to make some dishes. <br /><br />Oh, I love Hawaii! I want to go back some day so much. I am enjoying a massive thunderstorm here tonight. The sky is on fire.

I'm on Maui today but leaving tomorrow. Even here I read your blog.

I could name a few scenes from every book, I just picked the one that was most profound to me.<br /><br />Vijaya, I can't cover every author I love. It's impossible. I'm sticking to children's authors though I love many, many, many other authors. I love the Bible too, and the God of all comfort revealed in the words. <br /><br />Hi, Katherine, At least someone has read it. I feel like I've really achieved something with it, but very few readers so far. I hope that it breaks out and finds a place. Humor, social commentary and heart -- yep, that was totaly goal.

It's excellent not only for its humor and social commentary, but because it has heart. And I love, love, love the clone boy!Katherine Grace Bondhttp://www.katherinegracebond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-913234705895577742012-12-09T15:53:18.998-06:002012-12-09T15:53:18.998-06:00Wonderful post!

Some authors I turn to again and again are Madeleine L'Engle, Katherine Paterson, Lloyd C. Douglas, AJ Cronin and Thomas Hardy. And since embracing Christ, I cannot believe the treasury in the Bible. IT is my consolation, the God of all comfort.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-79804044145334982962012-12-08T22:15:59.389-06:002012-12-08T22:15:59.389-06:00Hi Candi!

Everything about her was comforting. E.B. White did an amazing job at creating such a wonderful character with Charlotte. His unique ability to spin her as a maternal, loving character, a spider! was superb.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691497935668743387noreply@blogger.com
