I think the third book (Mockingjay) comes out in late August.<br /><br />Trying to think of good recommendations, but it's late and my brain is fried from grading essays! I'll see if I get my intellect back in the morning. :)Sonia Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780172715486689609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-85062506996889136012010-07-30T00:11:50.743-04:002010-07-30T00:11:50.743-04:00Do you know of a role model for me, based on what ...Do you know of a role model for me, based on what you know of me? After a gut-wrench of a week, it's coming together that I want to try again at writing prose.<br /><br />Made a list of "thinks I know", from photography to impatience, down a page of my notebook. My roots are working-class. I will read more of Lawrence and Camus, but I'm hoping to find someone contemporary to.. emulate.<br /><br />Can you point the way?<br /><br />Thank youJessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430253706561827669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-24808097583464210622010-07-29T22:50:29.725-04:002010-07-29T22:50:29.725-04:00I *don't expect* another to feel that way.

I can't wait to see what you think of the Countess and of Mr. Slope. And of Mrs. Proudie, of course. And of Archdeacon Grantly and...ahem. Okay, okay, I think you'd find it fun too! Trollope writes kindly about people. Even when they're awful, he'll say really sweet things about them. Okay, yes, I just typed myself into this! Barchester Towers is a relaxing happy read.Catherinehttp://restlessviolet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-53395910235074810352010-07-29T15:44:39.220-04:002010-07-29T15:44:39.220-04:00Haha Wooster and Jeeves is EXACTLY the type of thi...Haha Wooster and Jeeves is EXACTLY the type of thing we're looking for. Simon has read a ton of them but you've given me the bright idea to bring one for myself.<br /><br />What do you think about Barchester towers?

Bertie Wooster has deep insights at times despite his general silliness and Jeff and I adore those books.<br />"Gaudy Night" by Dorothy Sayers is a great mystery with lots of interesting moral questions going on (though mebbe you've read it!)Catherinehttp://restlessviolet.comnoreply@blogger.com
