Reply #48: are you reading for fun?

I picked up a book at a tag sale that was quite amusing: "Cold Sassy Tree" by Olive Ann Burns.

San Jose Mercury News: "It's a winner, it rings with authority, it moves fast, and its use of language is as surefooted and convincing as any in 'The Color Purple'."


Oh, and what's that book about earning your way through college? That was HILARIOUS. Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/How-Paid-College-Friendship-Musical/dp/0767918541 How I Paid for College: a Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship and Musical Theater by Marc Acito. (Not for cultural conservatives.)
