in the vein of remembering first reading experiences, I got this incredible nostalgia watching some clean-cut young man in a blue sweater read F&Z on the bus returning from Thanksgiving stuff on Sunday... then I was just disappointed because when I read it, I cried profusely at the end, and he was rather obviously not absorbed in it... as far as less-talked-about stories... i read my friend "Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes" while he was ill and was struck by how much there is in there that is not apparent on a first reading. (he is not a stupid guy and parts of it confused the hell out of him.) to those who count this among your favorites, what is the key, if it is something you find articulatable? (is that a word?) emily ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
