so,once again i am late in my posting...i've read everyone's responses this week and can see that i missed a lively discussion thursday. (bummer!) this book seems to be full of heavy subjects that one could feel very strongly about. myself included. i am really enjoying the "challenge" of this book (yes, i'm still reading it....). i will go ahead and turn in the quiz when i'm finished---not for credit but to show that i've done the work. :-) i will comment further on the book when i'm finished as well. i would like to say that i'm quite looking forward to being done moving (this sunday it will all be over!!!) and even more importantly to starting "we were the mulvaneys". sorry that this isn't more critical in nature. thanks for your patience and understanding...
