Comparative Literature

[close] Phillip: "...Fitzgerald Hemingway and Falkner had to wait until the 20s were in full swing before they became successful writers. There's also the longer gap between WWI and the Roaring 20's and WWII and the 60's. The world - and particularly the USA - took much longer to recover from WWII. A lot of fine writers left Goodreads when it was sold to Amazon, fearing their work had been sold with it. But we still own what we write. We should start a thread somewhere, inviting parallels between the two generations, then edit the results and we'd have a book to sell."

[close] Super-lame group title, but I couldn't come up with anything pithier. (We can't all be John Green, amirite? lolol) Anyway, here's the group for discussing and comparing the books from the sick-lit shelf - to each other, to That Other Book, and maybe for discussing themes in YA sick lit. Or something. Anyway, have at it. Happy reading. :) PS: If I didn't invite you, it's because I wasn't sure you were interested and I didn't want to spam people. Just send a request to join and I'll fix that. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/10211758?shelf=2014-ya-sick-lit-thingy
