O Pioneers!


Last night I finished Willa Cather's, O Pioneers!  I loved it.  Cather's writing style resonates so deeply.  I wish I could adequately describe the swell of emotions I experienced while reading this book.  Her writing is beautiful, and it made me want to be in the middle of nowhere working the land.

my antonia is one of my all-time favorites, but i have never read this one. thomas read it a year or so ago though and enjoyed it as well.

it is on our bookshelf that i am working my way through- currently reading watership down. i think o pioneers is on the second shelf and i'm about four books into the first so i will have to remember you read this when the time comes so we can discuss! :)

watership down is one of my all time favorite books. I read my antonia a really long time ago, but I don't remember much of it, I'll have to read it again.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I do miss being able to pick any book off your shelf to read.
