I think I've heard good things about D.

I think you'll really really enjoy Daisy May and The F.C. Letters. I love the bit in Daisy May when it describes how her mom's eyebrows were singed off by a gas stove, and she always draws them on in big arches so that people LOVE talking to her because she always looks SO INTERESTED in everything they are saying! And the final F.C. letter always makes me cry a little bit--in a good way.Watoosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532321360262510965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194361583586198576.post-77603623728592251122007-01-02T18:32:00.000-08:002007-01-02T18:32:00.000-08:00Hi Beth, it's Laurie - Shel's little sis.

In fact, 2 of the books I got for Christmas came from ones you mentioned in recent blog posts (Daisy May and the Father Christmas Letters). I will continue to read your blog so I can always have a good book on hand to read!! (I'm not as "in the know" or as widely read as you and Shel, so I'm dependent upon people like you to help keep me informed!!)LWBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682711604985810505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194361583586198576.post-9542768201424325362007-01-02T14:14:00.000-08:002007-01-02T14:14:00.000-08:00If I might make a recommendation for a Dante trans...If I might make a recommendation for a Dante translation, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Comedy-Dante-Alighieri/dp/0451208633/sr=8-16/qid=1167775946/ref=sr_1_16/103-7956485-1566226?ie=UTF8&s=books">John Ciardi's</a> is quite good--and also contains very helpful notes, as well as good introductions to the three sections.
