You can borrow it when you visit us. I'm not sure where I put it, but I know I read it and I'm pretty sure it's still around because I liked it quite a bit. Thornton Wilder has a peculiar style that I'm tempted to classify as mockumentary: many details, fleshed-out biographies, yet still lively and interesting.

I can see it's time I faced the demons of my misspent youth, a.k.a. school. I read The Bridge of San Luis Rey in junior high and did not like it, a judgement I believe I passed on every single one of the books I was required by my teachers to read. But as the years since my incarceration have increased, I have made many amazing discoveries, such as that history is interesting and that I enjoy writing. I'm guessing it may also be true that the books we were forced to read aren't all as bad as I remember. :)

Thanks again! This is inspirational. And based on your last post, I hope a read (or likely re-read) of "Bridge of San Luis Rey" is on the 2016 list!

My yearly goal is 52 books (one per week). My unofficial goal this year was to beat my previous record, which was 65 (in 2010). Then it got a little out of hand, as books kept rising to the top of our library "hold" list....

That's quite a few more than I read this year. Good job!
