I thou...I haven't heard of that Helprin novel. I thought I knew of them all. I just looked it up, it's his latest that just came out last year. Here's what Helprin's wikipedia entry says about it:<br />"His latest, In Sunlight and In Shadow, was released in 2012, and has been described as an extended love song to New York City." That sounds cool. You'll have to tell me what you think.<br /><br />I have read several of Steinbeck's short novels (read The Pearl if you get a chance) but none of his longer works. East of Eden is certainly one I want to read eventually but I had decided to read his most famous, The Grapes of Wrath, next year.<br /><br />Most definitely will pray for your daughter. Daily blood thinner injections sound serious.

Sor...So glad you finished the Helprin and liked it! Sorry for busting up your reading order :) I am now reading ANOTHER Helprin, called In Sunlight and Shadow. Loving it! :) And I may continue on and read the rest of his novels. But I am really looking forward to your post on A Soldier.<br />Singer, I liked but kind of drove me crazy with his non-ending endings, lol. I enjoyed the Flaubert very much. Another Steinbeck I always enjoy is East of Eden.<br /> I would appreciate your prayers as my daughter goes in for some surgery today. It is outpatient, but to me it is borderline whether is should be or not...and I am going to be "nurse." I am used to this role, but this particular post-surgical care is new to me, and I am nervous. Daily blood thinner injections and all.<br />thanks~<br /><br /><br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.com
