I keep saying this, but it's true ... if you love Steinbeck I think you will find Stegner's work also a favorite. I know I will be reading more of his books in the future. Aaron: Thanks for stopping by. I read your post (and commented on it) - PERFECT response! I may have to point the Sunday Saloners your way come this Sunday...your blog is great!

Funny that Gottlieb would ask that question but act as hiw own best case study. Hey there,

Bybee: I agree (obviously) that Steinbeck is wonderful! I have not yet rated one of his books less than a 5/5. (but you can't throw my bistro table at Gottleib - I'm using it now!). I made it through the 1/2 way point of <i>Angle of Repose</i> last night before I fell asleep. He reminds me A LOT of Steinbeck. I think you'll enjoy the book.

He's got his fat nerve! Steinbeck is wonderful! I'm currently in the grip of Pulitzer Fever -- reading and accumulating all the winners I can find. Luckily, I found Angle of Repose a couple of months ago. I'm looking forward to reading it this year!

Rose City Reader: Thanks for stopping by. So far everyone seems to like <i>Angle of Repose</i>...I don't know why I've waited so long to read it! Ravenous Reader: I'm going to just slowly work my way through White's essays - he is so much fun to read that I know I'll be disappointed when I've flipped the last page Mrs. B: You've discovered my obsession - LISTS! *laughs* I just can't resist them...hope you have fun browsing. Andi: Yes *smiles* Terri: I just picked up <i>Crossing to Safety</i> at a library sale for $0.50 - I figure it's a cheap experiment *grins* I'll look forward to reading your thoughts on White's essays.

Glad you're loving it. I read another of his - Crossing to Safety - last fall and wasn't nearly as enamored with it. I didn't get to E.B. White today, but soon! It's just.. there... above my head on the book shelf! Angle of Repose is a wonderful book. Glad you’re loving it.
