Good idea. I go to so many book readings, esp. at Brookline Booksmith . . .<br />Great pic with Margaret Atwood.

I remember reading about it on your blog, and then completely zoned out. Such a shame! Congrats on your week though, sounds book-ish and fabulous. I have not ready any of Margaret Atwood&#39;s novels, but I would really like to. What would you recommend to start?<br /><br />Alayne <br />thecrowdedleaf.wordpress.comAlaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10305704919065945772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-31095381185131089052009-10-28T09:43:38.878-04:002009-10-28T09:43:38.878-04:00awesome awesome awesome. Did you hear Anita Diamant read from her new book? it so reminded me of My Father&#39;s Paradise! at least in being set in Israel, 50&#39;s.

I am always amazed at the generosity of some authors. Somehow you expect distance, and then they turn out to be as accessible as say a new neighbor.
