Next Up!

I finished The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters two weeks ago and frankly haven't compiled the most appropriate words for a review. Or perhaps I was so thoroughly disappointed with the material I haven't had the will to write on it regardless of my opinion. I shall prevail with a review in the days to come!

More interestingly is the piece I have lined up next. A marvel of American literature, The House Behind the Cedars by Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt will most certainly prove a rewarding and rich work. Chesnutt himself had spent his young life a Victorian and was profoundly observant of the changing world (for better or worse) around him as the 20th Century was ushered in. This acclaimed work addresses historic racial culture through the eyes of two courageous young African Americans. I am eagerly anticipating this read.

Follow along and submit your thoughts. You know you have 'em and I want to hear 'em.
