I can't wait to find out which Elizabeth Berg is your favorite. And, are you getting sick of reading the same author so close together?
ReplyDeleteBonnie: There's a good interview with Elizabeth Berg on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSGYfLv9dN4. Also, Karen Armstrong gives a great deal of talks and interviews either via YouTube, Chautauqua, TED, Fora.tv. Her interview by Robert Wright on Slate's The Meaning of Life is very good as well. I've had a wonderful voyage of searching my favorite authors for interviews or talks they've given and are on the Internet. Anyway, just thought some of your readers would like to know.

ReplyDeleteMy favorites at the moment are Talk Before Sleep, which I read years ago and plan to re-read, and The Year of Pleasures, which is excellent.
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting tired of Elizabeth Berg's books because each one has different characters, in different locations, doing very different things. However, I need to focus on the three nonfiction books I am currently reading because they are background material for a weekend retreat for the women of my church that I'll be leading in March.
