I also have a book called The Portable Edith Wharton - it has letters and essays and some short fiction, I think. Amy – I’m starting Ethan Frome next, since it’s the only other one Daily Lit has.

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:38:07 +0000 http://booksandmovies.colvilleblogger.com/?p=3893#comment-7435 Yeah for Edith Wharton. She and Willa Cather are my favorite classic authors. She's written 28 books and they are not easy to find. I'm still working my way through. I bough one while visiting The Mount, her summer home in the Berkshires a few years back. Her autiobiography A Backwards Glance is phenomenal. Ethan Frome is a moody classic that most read in high school. I ADORE Glimpses of the Moon (about a couple who pretend to be married and spend a year traveling the world staying at friends' houses) and The Twilight Sleep (the Jazz Age). Another great one is Old New York-- 4 novellas that each cover a different decade. And the film version with Gillian Anderson of House of Mirth is quite well done. .-= Amy S.´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.steeleonentertainment.com/2009/11/glbt-reading-challenge-2010.html" rel="nofollow">GLBT Reading Challenge 2010</a> =-.
