I bought <I>Jurassic Park</I> in paperback back in high school and took it to college with me.<BR/><BR/>I'd marked my place with a Hershey wrapper, which was odd because I rarely eat chocolate, when I let my boyfriend borrow the book. Shortly after, we broke up and he moved away. I assumed he took the book with him.<BR/><BR/>So I'm in my favorite second-hand bookstore, Changing Hands, and I come across a used copy of <I>Jurassic Park</I> on the shelf. I think, "I haven't read that book in ages!", so I impulse-buy and take it home.<BR/><BR/>And open it up to find a Hershey wrapper tucked inside between the same pages I quit reading YEARS before. I paid for my own darn book!GutterBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943760313844692975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1166062369148657182006-12-13T21:12:00.000-05:002006-12-13T21:12:00.000-05:00I just came back to make a list of books.

Whenever I feel homesick for the South Florida I grew up in, I read that. I also lived for a time in Central Florida and would pass Eatonton daily on my way to and from work and would think of her and that great book. Lastly, I think of how not long after she died all of her works were out of print, but thanks in no small part to Alice Walker, her books are back in print, on school reading lists, and being read and enjoyed by people who otherwise would never have heard of Zora Neal Hurston. She even managed to track down where Zora Neal was buried and had a marker put on her grave. Some books just aren't meant to be forgotten. <BR/>Ann<BR/>P.S. I get to go to FL for Christmas.

"She walks in beauty, like the night" is possibly my favorite poem. <BR/><BR/>I think Pride and Prejudice has, and will continue to have many secret lives. As far as a contemporary book, I would think Wally Lamb's - She's Come Undone or Jennifer Weiner's - Good in Bed would have secret life potential. <BR/><BR/> Happy Holidays!!!
