"I read "it's raining men" and I was like "where? where?" lol! I realize you didn't say "It's raining delicously hot men!"

Another great TT! I always look forward to yours!

Happy TT! "

"In Cold Blood is one of my all-time favorites. Not surprised he never wrote another book again after it. "

"Capote did sink so much of his life and time into that book. I think it wore him out emotionally."

"Brave New World was published in 1932. My copy was published around 1952. I don't know if that counts as "early.""

"Michael J. Fox's book grabs my interest just on the cover art!

Capote's novel--I am afraid of it for some reason.

Thanks for this interesting range of titles and artwork."

"An interesting selection. Tommy's Tale sounded interesting. In a sort of coincidence, I pulled out my copy of Bridget Jones' Diary the other day."

"Now that is a wide range of literature!

When I read In Cold Blood I felt like I had a hammer hanging over me the whole time, waiting for awful things to happen. Very disconcerting."

Very entertaining!"

Darla says:
"I love all these themes! I don't think I'll use this one for a challenge, though--the group I write the challenges for reads primarily romance, and that would end up being 90% of the books on their shelves. ;)"

Comment #44: Thursday, March, 27, 2008 at 09:33:08

"Then you should challenge them to read a book with a man on the cover that isn't a romance."

"I can't resist a cover like 'Galactic Pot-Healer', or that 35-cent 'Brave New World'. And 'Mr. Pingle and Mr. Buttonhouse' is wonderful, too. I love your covers, Puss Reboots!"

Toni says:
"I have not read one of those books and I am sure that I am missing out. Now that I have a little one I don't find as much time to read so I only read fictional murder/suspense type books; because I can finish them quickly. I really must remedy this!

Thanks for stopping by my place. When I was looking up the crayon knowledge it was neat to see all the colors from way back when and I actually wondered if anyone still had an old box with some of the discontinues in it, pretty neat..."

I love the list this week, I appreciate your reviews and am looking forward to checking out some of those books in local bookstores.

I particularly would like to find Plato and the Platypus..., Tommy's Tale, Michael J Fox's book, and also the Witch Week and others in its series. "
