Finished books
Jan. 31st, 2005 12:11 pm1. Plane Insanity, Elliott Hester, 236 p.
Light, funny essays about life in the air.
2. Sunshine, Norma Klein, 223 p.
I saw this movie on TV when it came out in 1973 (I was 8), and then read the book. I haven't even seen it for 25 years, I'm sure, but I must have read it a lot as a kid because there are pieces that have stuck in my head for those years - for example, "mom took us for milkshakes after the dentist." I had no idea where I got that; now I do. I don't think I'll read it again for another 25 years, so off to the Bookcrossing pile it goes.
3. From the Dust Returned, Ray Bradbury, 236 p.
Classic Bradbury, vaguely auto-biographical - as much as a story of the Family Dark can be. This feels like short stories bound together with a thin narrative. A couple of wonderful love stories - Cecy & Tom, and the ghost and his nurse.
