Re: JCO: Re: Black Water

Katie,

You might enjoy "Marya: a Life" and "Blonde". Both are books that for
me, deepened my appreciation and identification with, many of the
struggles of identity of young women growing up (prior to "Women's
Liberation") in our culture, and in Blonde, the revelation of the deep
personal struggles and oppression experienced by someone like Marilyn
Monroe.

Sometime I'd love to have a discussion about these books on this site
.... perhaps there have already been such discussions, but I haven't
been on this list for very long.

I'm going to re-read Black Water, one of JCO's most powerful
novels/novellas to my way of thinking.

suggestion. I do do sort of that type of thing. At the end of every
year we get a reading list which 4-5 books we are required to read
based on our class. There is also a suggested reading list that is
attached. This past summer, I was not required to read any of the
books on the suggested reading list so I did it by myself. I was happy
with my decision because i ended up reading excellent books like The
Color Purple and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. For now, I am reading
JCOs books to study her in my class. Are they any books that anybody
recommends that they feel were especailly good? I have the book What I
Lived For as my next book to read, but i would like to read more.
Thanks!!!!</smaller></color>
