I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "forgotten" book, but I reviewed The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk this week. Add to the list if you like! :)
ReplyDeleteNot the only UnForgotten this week! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTodd, this pale green color type is VERY difficult to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I hadn't heard that before (and as soon as they're activated, they go gray, so I hadn't ever had an all-green text block...
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time with the green as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for picking up Barry's review. Another is set up for next week from him and there is one in the pipeline for the following week thanks to Barry as well.
Good to know! Both the problems with the light green (which, thanks to Blogspot making my old "theme" obsolete required a slight revision of "theme"), and the upcoming reviews...Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe LeGuin essay is very interesting (and I have the LOA volume, so I've read the whole thing) ... I have to admit I'd love to be able to read that first novel, that Knopf said they'd have published 10 years earlier ...
ReplyDeleteI think a number of us would. Perhaps it's still in her papers. Whether she wanted anyone else to see it is another thing to consider...
ReplyDeleteOne other thing, Todd, the link to Tracy K's review doesn't go to her blogpost. Thanks again for stepping up and doing the hosting gig - much appreciated, as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvette. I should've checked that, but Friday and today have been busier than anticipated.
ReplyDeleteThe link for John O'Neill: The Machine in Shaft Ten by M. John Harrison doesn't work for me -- braings up the Nichols entry on HAMMER'S SLAMMERS instead.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denny...sometimes the links will "colonize" adjacent links. Now fixed.
