Have you compared the Edward Hamilton catalog with the web site? Not for quite some time, Karen. He no doubt has improved it a lot. I'm glad you are enjoying Camus. It's not a "classic" for no reason. JC

Karen LIKES it! You know what? So did I. I can't wait to hear what people think- I am more interested in reactions to the writing and how the book affects people than in tearing apart its symbolism and all that stuff. I hated that in school. I';ll leave that to the more analytical among us. I clearly remember doing a paper in freshman English on Wuthering Heights, and writing all this stuff about the stunted trees on the moor, and how they represented the stunted emotional development of Heathcliff, and thinking the whole time, what baloney. I really just don't picture Charlotte thinking that when she sat in that cold rectory writing her romances. The moors are the setting she knew. Not that all that isn't valid, I'm sure. I'm showing my terrible ignorance---There's a reason I wasn't an English major. Started Girl, Interrupted last night and like it a lot.
