- @jmchshannon I think it's good that those with negative feelings are vocal. It helps me know that it might really be a turn off to people!
- @jennyfosdick happy st. Patrick's Day to you! I'm in green...but son is not!
- @RobAroundBooks i do think it's helpful. i just need to learn code!!
- @RobAroundBooks Oo a little closed to solved!! it gives me the "reply" option but then can't find a way to post the comment...
- @jmchshannon yeay, still don't think I'm going to go for intense debate. Seems there is some negative feeling about it!
Here are my reviews:
Metamorphosis – Franz Kafka
Miss Julie – August Strindberg
The Watsons – Jane Austen
I have at least one more M-H book on my shelf already, so I’m making up for the brevity of my choices with quantity.
Persepolis – Marjane Satrapi
I finished already! I felt guilty for not finishing the first quarter I guess.
My reviews are:
Maus by Art Spiegelman
Gilgamesh translation by Stephen Mitchell
hhmm my link for Maus seems to be broken. Try this one!
Anthem – Ayn Rand
Both versions of Gilgamesh:

I’m currently reading “The Bluest Eye” and I expect to have the review for that up by the end of the quarter!
My post on “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison is up now, at http://lifeisapatchworkquilt.com/blog/?p=879. “Anthem” was the other book for this quarter’s challenge.
