I haven't read anything else on your list, but I'm seriously considering joining your readalong as I had a lot of fun reading Alley's posts about the last one. Also, I don't think I'd ever get around to reading The Grapes of Wrath otherwise. And also, also, I want to be PART of the fun this time! :) Brie @ A Slice of Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445361407533018855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-83523894316734853102012-09-05T22:37:21.156+01:002012-09-05T22:37:21.156+01:00Having (just now!) read both of them, I'm incl...Having (just now!) read both of them, I'm inclined to agree.
