Sounded depressing going into it, but it was well worth it.<br /><br />Alice Munro's short story is available for free at the New Yorker (see link in my review). One True Thing is amazing to read, and the movie is quite well done (I actually saw the movie first).<br /><br />Thanks for commenting & following!Teacher/Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280690822570558469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478500839371377052.post-92140379221086748782010-09-01T01:08:29.061-04:002010-09-01T01:08:29.061-04:00I really enjoyed On Writing and still remember hug...I really enjoyed On Writing and still remember huge chunks of it clearly, which is a compliment to Uncle Steve's writing. My son just happened to idly pick it up a few years later and that one book made him into a King fan.<br /><br />The Book of Ruth was so stark and grim but so well done!<br /><br />I haven't read any of your other August reads.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.com
