I like his writing because of the deep moral soul-searching I do as I puzzle through the predicaments he writes about. I think he is so original in this way.

To take the pressure off, I've turned to a couple of 'older books' I never got around to.

I loved O Pioneers and remember the excellent writing in Housekeeping.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
