Just finished Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver - not a new book, I know, but I've just got this jonesing for Springtime....still kind of cool here with your random unwelcome snowstorm thrown in, and there are just enough warm days to give you that little thrill that things will turn green again. I tried to read this a couple of years ago and didn't care for it - seemed to obviously aimed at the "mature" female reader. Maybe I've become a mature female reader; because the language of the book really turned me on this time. Women attempting to farm, women alone in the forest watching coyotes, women running orchards, raising children, women who think they're doing this alone, but are not.
I'm not much into reviewing books, and definitely don't want to just do plot summaries. I think to keep myself happy and interested in this blog, I'll just jot down random thoughts about the book. I think I really just intend this as a way to mark down what I've read and keep myself going on as a reader.
