I always enjoy reading the author's notes on why the wrote what they wrote, etc... Jill: I finally picked up Morrison for the Nobel's Challenge. You should definitely give her a try because I think you'd like her style. Anne: I will be watching your blog for your review of one of her books! April: I loved the book! I'm right there with you! Alisia: Thanks for you thoughts on my dad :) Did you like The Bluest Eye better than SOS? WendyCat: Thanks! I always enjoy reading the author’s notes on why the wrote what they wrote, etc…

I only just picked up one of her other books recently, for the My Year of Reading Dangerously challenge. I'm glad you're liking SoS better than I did, but I'm sorry to hear about your father's dementia. I was not a big fan of Morrison after reading Song of Solomon, and I stayed away from her for years.

Thank God for inspired high school English teachers. My favorite novel of all time is Song of Solomon, ever since I first read it in high school. Thank God for inspired high school English teachers.

There are four of her book's including 'The Song of Solomon' sitting on my shelf looking accusingly at me as I write. I'm making you and me a promise here, to read at least one in 2008.

I really should make an effort to read her works. I will look forward to your "official" review. There are so many great authors I have never read, and Toni Morrison is one of them.

Sometimes it really does make a difference knowing the background of a story. It adds perspective and depth you might not otherwise realize. I have read two books by Morrison, both of which I enjoyed. Have a great week, Wendy. I am glad you are enjoying Song of Solomon.
