My life could fill a book easily any day! I love the idea of being a quirky secondary character in a small town novel. <BR/><BR/>I do have Jan Karon's books but I haven't read one yet. I am a bit more curious now that you said this. It made me think of Winesburg, Ohio. I don't think I want to live there, but if I HAD to pick a place I don't think I would mind people watching there.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05446328800757725901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-46834496346006590202008-08-10T12:43:00.000-04:002008-08-10T12:43:00.000-04:00I'm completely with you on Fahrenheit 451...any of...I'm completely with you on Fahrenheit 451...any of those kind of books: 1984, A Brave New World.
