    Dear 23scido,

    Thank you for recommending Ambrose Bierce's greatest American short story, "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge".  It was excellent!

    Sincerely,
    Former Twerp,

    just finished the Backman and Lamb. 👍 👍

    I discovered Louise Erdrich a while ago. This will be the 4th or 5th I’ve read. They’ve all been great.

    Yeah that’s the lamb effect. I finished the 1st chapter.. good stuff so far. I cried and cried after She’s come undone. That one really hit me hard.

    I Know This Much is True is one of the best books I have ever read. Top 10 for sure.

    The Erdrich I showed is pretty strange. Not sure I’d recommend it…but La Rose, the Roundhouse, the Mighty Red and the Night Watchman were all great.
