I just finished reading "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker. Can you say perfection? Everything about the book was perfect. The character shifts were fabulous and noticable. I think that is what I'm missing in alot of my own writing. Her characters are all amazing, and the plot is interesting. The format too was almost unprecendented- the whole book is composed of letters to either God or Nettie, her sister. These letters also allowed for two settings, Africa (where Nettie is doing missionary work) and the deep south (where Celie lives). I can't even describe how much I enjoyed the book, it's a must read.

Next on your list should be some Capote: Music for Chameleons. I really enjoyed those stories and essays.
And we'd talk about it...IF WE EVER TALKED IN REAL LIFE!!
I'm invading Miss Legare's fake study hall today to remedy that fact. Beware.
