However, for 'a couple' in a more traditionally romantic sense, I'd opt for Janie and Tea-Cake in Their Eyes were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.(less)

Liz Thank you for the friend request! Happy reading and writing! :)


message 6: by M.J.

M.J. Johnson Isn't it fascinating how people disagree so widely about the books they love and loathe? I'm always amazed when I look at the ratings on sites like Amazon for books like 'Catch 22' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and find that anyone at all should have had the temerity to award them 1 star! Just have to accept we all have different tastes I guess!


Dustin You are most welcome. Sounds great, it's always a pleasure discussing books!


Thank you, my friend.
