@everyone
WOW am I late. Okay disclaimer: Iβve read neither Les Mis. or Count of Monte Cristo, and am eager to read both, however, Iβve been looking for both for about a year (lazily, I will admit) But soon I WILL read them, hopefully, or listen to them although Iβve never gotten as much out of a book that Iβve listened to so weβll see. With that, and extra, I know, Iβm wordy, and I apologize here and now. *hangs head* But with that said, No. Dying. *glares at all* Or else Iβll send my elves to gather up your rough drafts and publish them online for all to see so that youβll die a second time of embarrassment . *glances at @bluejay * Thank you, Doctor. *nods*
Another thing! Has anyone read βChildren of Hurinβ? I have some friends who are going to loan it to me sometime soon and was wondering what yβallβs thoughts on it were? But maybe I should ask that after I read itβ¦ XD.

Kapeefer til we're old and greyDecember 7, 2016 at 11:53 am #22417Cry, The Beloved Country.
This book ties with Ben Hur for me, taking third place as my favorite books ever. This book masters theme better than any book Iβve ever read and it is a Christian novel. Itβs also the most famous novel from South Africa ever. This is not a novel with high emotion, but you might very well search all your life and never find a book with more heart to it.

December 7, 2016 at 11:57 am #22418@kate-flournoy Thatβs because it deserves it.
Alan Paton wrote it. All I know is that he was a South African pastor.

December 7, 2016 at 12:00 pm #22420Oh, yes. And you should read. Just a slight recommendation.

December 7, 2016 at 12:37 pm #22425Oh ha what no really? π Yes, that was a given @Daeus. I might just do that. *deliberately avoids looking at messy calendar* I found two of my favoritest books ever on recommendation from you, soβ¦ π
@Daeus Is it historical fiction?
December 7, 2016 at 8:19 pm #22444@Kate-Flournoy Ooh! Okay Iβm requiring no immediate answer. By all means, I implore you, keep writing.
December 7, 2016 at 9:02 pm #22449@emma-flournoy Yes, basically, though I believe it was written in the same time period as the author lived in. Itβs a pretty recent novel. Iβm not sure, but I think early 1900s, or maybe mid. It takes place in South Africa.

December 7, 2016 at 9:48 pm #22459@Daeus Gotcha. Dβyou think we could find it in a small town library; is it well enough known?
December 7, 2016 at 9:53 pm #22461Thereβs a good chance. Itβs a classic. Are you not part of the Columbus library system? Are you dying? Do you need help?

December 8, 2016 at 1:41 pm #22471@Daeus I think the library closest to us is part of the Logan library systemβ¦I donβt think the Logan library is part of the Columbus system. Iβll see if I can look it up.
I might just be needing help if I canβt find and read such a thematically rich book though. π
