I'm reading My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok right now. I had to read The Chosen last year for an English course which he also wrote. That was the best book I read for that course hands down. If you have never read Potok before, you MUST. You MUST read him. He is a very gifted writer with many important stories to tell.
That's really all I have to say about it. And now a little poem for you.
When did we become so orderly
When did 'son' become the new slang
When did we decide neat boxed houses were the best way to reside
Did we even know we had a choice?
When did wrong become right
When did we decide that living lonely is better than living loving
Who tells us we have spots when all we see are stripes?
One Thing I Love: comfortable silence between friends
Song of the Day:
Heart by Stars

The Chosen was my favourite book in English too. I've reread it several times. I haven't read any other Potok since, however. Thanks for your words.. I haven't checked out your blog in a long time and now I'm catching up!
Thanks for stopping by!
