I actually had great fun Thursday night; I hope the attendees did, too! And now, on to Simenon - and Hanover in August! Gail,

As a co-participant in that elitist education, I also missed out on a lot of the real classics and did a pretty mediocre job on your quiz. I guess I'll have to spend more of my time filling in the gaps. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be at your presentation!

My friends were really impressed with your knowledge and recall of plots of books that you read years ago. Several other members of our book club could not attend your talk. Would it be OK if I would copy some of the lists you shared? I already gave most of them the address for your blog and will refer them to this post for more info. Thanks again for an entertaining, informative evening! See you in August. Gail Roberta,

I'm sorry I couldn't attend your presentation as I would have enjoyed it very much. However, my daughter's family was here and I doubt that Fiona, the two year old, would have gotten much out of it. In eight or ten years she will be reading some of the canon, I'm sure, but she's not quite ready to begin. Great post, Roberta!
