I ususally remember the gist of a book, not necessarily character names etc. - another good book I want to read again is Tess of the D'urbervilles. But, in a way, I hate to re-read anything at this point in my life; I want to read all the new stuff that's caught my eye - usually Catholic stuff (some having been waiting for me over a year now, but I get distracted by other things - esp. devotional type readings lately). I'm almost done with the Autobiography of St. Teresa - which is good and all, but I will likely never read again. It's too dry and too many words to say anything. Just me!Sarah - Kalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877449375576975508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038207951426384277.post-49032541777404820352009-01-18T05:03:00.000-08:002009-01-18T05:03:00.000-08:00One I have returned to time and time again is East...One I have returned to time and time again is East of Eden by Steinbeck. I love this story of rivalry between brothers that actually ends up being misunderstandings around jealousy etc.. I like the chinaman who helps find the meaning in Hebrew texts for "timshel" - which they found meant "thou may rulest over sin" - the age old question being answered. Why do we struggle? Why is there war (between brothers, fathers, countries)? It all comes down to us: we MAY rule over sin - but if we do not, it (the sin) will rule us.Sarah - Kalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877449375576975508noreply@blogger.com
