Amira Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm just finishing The Handmaid's Tale, and Sunshine and The Hungry Tide were before that. I didn't finish Nineteen Eighty-Four (too depressing and I've done enough dystopia recently) and The Rock (interesting, but not engaging for a novel) while I was reading the other three.

kalanamak Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Green Earth by Fredrick Manfred Rex Barks http://www.amazon.com/Rex-Barks-Diagramming-Sentences-Made/dp/1889439355 Several Dick King-Smiths in a sitting (to see which one kiddo would like). Green Earth was by far the best: autobiographical novel of 1973 about life from about 1909-1929 for large poor family in NW Iowa, spanning the author's mother's life from age 18 until her death. Sort of Little Town on the Prairie without any sugar-coating, for grown-ups. But Rex Barks was very good, too.
