And it's always good to know there's another Peabody series fan out there.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1162939668421130152006-11-07T17:47:00.000-05:002006-11-07T17:47:00.000-05:00I LOVE Elizabeth Peters.

For the test our teacher inexplicably changed her style completely requiring all this knowledge of and ability to pull up direct quotes. My 66 was one of the highest grades, so she gave the class another shot at it. I suffered through reading the damn book twice! and with especial care the 2nd time. gggrrrr.<BR/><BR/>In better thoughts though, do check out E. Peters. Crocodile on the Sandbank is first.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1155660577647111942006-08-15T12:49:00.000-04:002006-08-15T12:49:00.000-04:00Your thoughts on Billy Budd as a book that shouldn...Your thoughts on Billy Budd as a book that shouldn't have been written made me laugh a particularly evil howl here. I feel the same way, having been forced to read it in 11th grade English class. Ugh!<BR/><BR/>I'm a mystery freak, and I can't believe I've never read any Elizabeth Peters novels. I must remedy that!Merujohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123831956012950960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1155587101856120922006-08-14T16:25:00.000-04:002006-08-14T16:25:00.000-04:00Scholiast: My life-changing book feels a bit like ...Scholiast: My life-changing book feels a bit like a cheat since it just got me into reading, but given the bigger picture, it's really quite something.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to checking out your answers!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1155586819880064872006-08-14T16:20:00.000-04:002006-08-14T16:20:00.000-04:00How weird, I just grabbed a book meme from Matt, a...How weird, I just grabbed a book meme from Matt, and here you are, doing the same thing, only it came from Kevin..<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed people have actually read books that've changed their lives..Scholiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219626585108690444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1155579253735644692006-08-14T14:14:00.000-04:002006-08-14T14:14:00.000-04:00I wouldn't expect you to have.

I came across Dyer's books purely by chance at the library when I was in SF.<BR/><BR/>Dyer is a Lawrence fan too... he travels to places Lawrence lived around the world for inspiration for his book, but ultimately it's more about his journey.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.com
