Ooh, not me, Ms Trix, spare me. It's not in my library and I have been
spanked enough for that. But I did like Tristam S so perhaps I'll chase it
up. Still not sure why it's the 'friggin' (I think that's what the gentlemen
said) American Bible. I thought Thoreau or Huck Finn was/were (and never
read them, neither). Never fear, I *have* read Hiawatha and Poe.
I would be fascinated to read something, though, that is revered as an
American classic and 'piles irony upon irony'. And raised questions about
capitalism. Did something happen after that? (Oh no, going to get spanked
again.)
No, seriously, it's been on those list of 'shoulds' that always seem too
worthy to be approached. Why didn't someone ever say it was a comedy? Oh
well, such is life (obscure reference - only Australians will understand).
best,
Jill
