Tags:
- Fredrich Beuchner: The Son of Laughter (novel), Godric (novel), Room Called Remember (essays, and sadly, out of print)
- Raymond Carver's short stories and poetry
- e.e. cumming's poetry
- Frost's poetry
- Tess Gallagher's short stories and poetry as well
- Ernest Hemingway: A Fawell to Arms, The Old Man and the Sea, The Sun Also Rises, The Nick Adams Stories
- Galway Kinell's Poetry
- Anne Tylor: Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant
- Anne Lamott: Traveling Mercies
Again, wow! I also am a bit of a Beuchner fan. Godric almost won the Pulitizer, and Wishful Thinking should be required reading for any person of faith. Raymond Carver's short stories are excellent, but I haven't warmed to Galway Kinell the way many have. I also like Hemingway, although I greatly prefer his short stories to his novels.
Shalom, y'all!
