Discover Older Literature
If you are looking for something good to read, you might want to try this older American Literature by Conrad Richter, The Trees--what a great story. I have really enjoyed this, and it helped that years ago I had seen the film of The Awakening Land, so it was easy to ...
Sea Of Grass
Conrad Richter
Ohio University Press

Deceptively simple chronicle of a forgotten time

No Heroes Here
I just completed reading this to my pre-teen kids, who enjoyed the story and who became particularly engaged as the complexity of the moral drama intensified in the final two chapters. There are many reviews on this page that summarize the plot, and I won't repeat ...

Much better than I expected!!
I am currently reading, as I get to them, the winners of the National Book Award which I haven't yet read. This book won the 1961 award and I found it an eerily moving book, which really caught me up after I read for a bit. It tells of John Donner revisiting his ...

Wonderful miniseries, wonderful book
I just finished reading "The Awakening Land: The Trees, The Fields, The Town." I had to get on a waiting list at the library (and they had to borrow it from another library). I can't figure out why there aren't several copies in every library. I saw the miniseries ...
