Kim: Re: Summer Crossing at the end...I think she did :) JoAnn: I hope you like Alentejo Blue - I really loved the atmosphere of that book. Kailana: I haven't read Pat Conroy before, but I keep hearing good things about his books, so that is one I want to read. Eva: Country of the Pointed Firs is awesome...I do hope you'll enjoy it! Texas Red: Hendricks is a great writer - I just loved her book. Staci: Good luck! I know all about the towering stacks. El Fay: Thanks for that recommendation - it looks wonderful! Diane: Isn't it funny how a book can spark a bunch of memories about the time and place in which we read it? Jessica: I completely agree! Les: I love Travels with Charley (but I love everything Steinbeck!). I'll look forward to reading your thoughts about Shipwrecked God...I'll remind you to read my review when I've read yours :) I haven't read Conroy yet - but Beach Music has been on my wish list forever!!

I still want to read East of Eden on of these days. Oh, and Travels With Charley is another good one! I have Beachcombing for a Shipwrecked God in my stacks. I'll read your review once I've read the book. You might have to remind me when you see it in my sidebar, though! I'm excited about Pat Conroy's new book, although it sounds a bit reminiscent of Beach Music (which I loved!!!). I may wait to hear what others think before I buy it in hardcover. :) The Grapes of Wrath was a huge favorite when I read it in high school. I still want to read East of Eden on of these days.

A French oldie (published in the early '60s) but a real goodie. A love story on a glamorous yacht on the Mediterranean.
