Brace yourself for the rest of that book.<br /><br />My big happy/weepy book right now is Cold Sassy Tree. It's wonderful. And I want to smack it for it's ending, although it is mostly happy. Sort of. Mainly. The narrator is a 14 year old boy and he is hilarious. The adult characters are wonderful, seen through his eyes. Not because they are flawless--they're definitely not--but because of his take on them.<br /><br />Fun post!Janiel Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602421917187944457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604618242929059089.post-43717933429787805262012-02-14T17:17:28.763-05:002012-02-14T17:17:28.763-05:00Very strange...Very strange...Liam, Head Philhttp://insideliamsbrain.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604618242929059089.post-56954111222491163282012-02-14T17:09:55.877-05:002012-02-14T17:09:55.877-05:00Thanks!Thanks!Lily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08517974784100159005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604618242929059089.post-26810091809218552862012-02-14T16:54:37.717-05:002012-02-14T16:54:37.717-05:00I had to read Mr. Bowditch for a literature class,...I had to read Mr. Bowditch for a literature class, and it was the best of the four books we read (in my opinion anyway). The funny thing is, my little sister just read it for her lit class and hated it. Go figure. My (then) lit teacher's family sails and they had a copy of one of Bowditch's books. I don't remember which one though.Lily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08517974784100159005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604618242929059089.post-40178309329857138062012-02-14T15:45:18.107-05:002012-02-14T15:45:18.107-05:00Well, nice list!

I actually liked Carry On Mr. Bowditch because number one, Nathaniel Bowditch is a huge figure in the world of sailing (his studies made it possible for people to sail places without wrecking due to miscalculations, and my family is a sailing one), and my dad, a former merchant marine, has a copy of volume one of the American Practical Navigator, his book, downstairs. It's big, green, and has everything and anything you'd need to know to sail anywhere. But I don't remember the book all that much.Liam, Head Philhttp://insideliamsbrain.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
