My grandmother lives in Davenport, and we were visiting for Christmas, or after, as the case actually was. My dad's side of the family lives there. Yours,...

I am doing "Winesburg, Ohio" among a lot of other things by other people. I haven't the vaguest idea why I had not read this before, especially as I like so...
I like your thinking! When you have a classic that is so clearly heads and shoulders and beaks above the original source material, such as Daisy Miller, I ...
Basically a remake of REEFER MADNESS, only with better visuals. ... From: "Ken Gage" <kendgage@...> To: <Literature@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday,...
I've picked up my copy of Winesburg, Ohio several times with good intentions. But for some odd reason I keep bumping it in favor of something else in the...
You could rank it like that. (Plus Blood Freak makes some noise about God and Bible reading. It seems to carry an anti-drug message, but its tone on...

I took a moment last night and read Henry James' shortie, "The Tree of Knowledge" and must remark that it neither cured my headache nor induced me to even...
Sadly, the quality of today's modern criminals keeps plunging. (Of course, we haven't had very good role models in our highest political offices for sometime...
Did you know this Yahoo! group (that SOME people call a "list") will be ten years old this month? Keeping to my proper bathos, I'll be celebrating by watching...
Yay for this literature group! 10 years, wow! I didn't even have an email account back in 1999. As for 'list', I heard so to speak other users in other yahoo...
I recall something like that, too, and they had "eGroups" and then Yahoo! had "Clubs," too, but whatever happened to Clubs? Did that merge with Groups or get...
