What a great collection of books and authors-...WOW. What a great collection of books and authors--and meanings to take from their works. So many of these are on my list, too, Kaye. Probably the only one I might add would be One Thousand White Women, by Jim Fergus--because I learned from him that yes, a man truly CAN see things from a woman's POV and write about feelings so deeply it can actually stir something that many female writers Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-30137008985585241832016-05-12T12:41:12.628-05:002016-05-12T12:41:12.628-05:00Keena,

I liked Boromir, too. It didn't hurt my feelings that the movie had David Wenham and Sean Bean. *dreamy*Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-4217758659963319732016-05-12T10:12:10.722-05:002016-05-12T10:12:10.722-05:00What a great list.

The life experiences we bring to a book certainly influence what we take away.<br /><br />I appreciate that you shared the names of authors who have touched you.

I've never read a Louisa May Alcott book.

Isn't it odd how much books influence our lives, ideals, and principles? Louisa May Alcott was a major influence in my life, especially in my younger years. I remember how much I wanted to be published in Marion Zimmer Bradley's magazine. Did you know she edited the submissions herself. Well, I was working on an MS she had edited to Sarah J.
