Blogging for the Frontliners

DEC 30: RE: Literature ... Blog about your favorite author/ novel/ non-fiction -- current read.

I am currently reading a book my daughter bought from the used book store by Judith Spencer. The title of the book is 'Suffer the child'. It is true story about a child who suffered great abuse from a mentally unstable mother and developed multiple personalities as a direct result of heinous acts committed. I am not sure if I believe everything in the book. It is hard to imagine that something so obvious would not be noticed, but then again...there are many cases of extreme abuse that goes unawares until a child dies.

My favorite authors are V.C. Andrews (before she died and a ghost writer took over) and Jean M. Auel who wrote the Earth Children's series. I currently have one hardcover first addition in my collection. I am impatiently waiting her last book. This woman has got to be in her 80's now and she takes ten years to write each book. I am so afraid she will die and someone else will have to finish her books. That would be a shame and evident in the writing, much like it is evident that VC has not been writing books with her name on it for years.

I am open to reading just about everything. I used to read shampoo bottles while in the bathtub or on the toilet. I would read cereal boxes while eating breakfast...I just read.
