precious prose.....

ok, so the book that i bought at one of the lex goodwills on wednesday...feather crowns by bobbie ann mason.....sparked a discussion last evening about my bookclub.....when asked if he had read the book (bobbie ann mason is associated with u of k's writing program....and andrew introduced me to her last year), andrew replied that her books are too precious, and that he prefers edgier stuff.....and intends to write edgier stuff........which led to a discussion of books that bookclub had chosen over the years......and the descriptive precious kept popping up........hmmm......i suppose i do prefer precious over edgy......when given my druthers.......and the last stack of books that i started and/or finished could all fall into that category........i suppose that i do not even get around to starting edgy prose.......there is plenty to be had...downstairs in the room whereupon we must be careful not to crease any pages should we presume to pick up one of those volumes......and maybe when i have nothing left to pick up i may just read chuck pahlanik (sp) .....but there are so many precious books to be savored before that day comes........and of course......all of jane austen to be re-read.......
