I believe that certain books speak to us for different reasons. I have had experiences in which I have picked up a book, only to put it down because I am not in the right mood. Then, if I go back to it later(oftentimes, much later), it takes on a different toneDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-15399959379259768372010-11-10T19:50:09.448-05:002010-11-10T19:50:09.448-05:00Debbie, I did read The Corrections and I thought i...Debbie, I did read The Corrections and I thought it was splendid. <br /><br />Ended?

The characters are so rich and their lives are so honest. There was a point in the book that seemed harder to move through than the rest, but it was definitely worth the read! I loved it and I miss it now that it is over. I didn't want it to end. Enjoy the experience!<br /><br />Did you read Franzen's other book?

I was not a fan of The Corrections and wouldn't have bought Freedom except that I happened to hear an interview with him on Fresh Air. Initially I was put off by him, but toward the end of the interview he warmed up and began to talk about writing process and I changed my mind and got the new novel.<br /><br />I became billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-35039521185777369202010-11-10T10:54:27.969-05:002010-11-10T10:54:27.969-05:00I've had the same experience, Kenju, of having...I've had the same experience, Kenju, of having to start over.
