liv: Bookshelf labelled: Caution. Hungry bookworm (bookies)
Author: Zora Neale Hurston

Details: (c) 1937; Pub Virago (missing details because I had to pass the book on to the next person who wanted to read it)

Verdict: Their eyes were watching God is a fine tragic novel.

Reasons for reading it: It's a classic and one of those things everybody ought to read. Plus I've recently been reading Alice Walker who is a huge fan of it.

How it came into my hands: The person who was hosting the midsummer party and passing out books was really enthusiastic to lend out her copy. I read it first because I read fast, and could then hand it on to the next person so that it can get back to its owner soon.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
